C2- Bonding,structures and properties of matter Flashcards
Ionic bonding
between a metal and a non-metal that lose electrons to become positively charged -they are attracted by electrostatic forces.
ionic compounds
form structures called giant lattices-strong electrostatic forces
properties of ionic compounds
- high melting point
2.cannot conduct electricity in a solid as ions aren’t free to move
covalent bonding
sharing a pair of electrons between atoms to gain a full outer shell(occurs in non metals)
- have low melting and boiling points because of weak inter-molecular forces
- do not conduct energy
metallic bonding
positive metal ions are surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons (metals only)
ions
an element that loses or gains electrons (charged particle-can be positive or negative)
How do metals become positively charged and what group in the periodic table is it in ?
Lose electrons-group one and two
How do non metals become negatively charged and what group in the periodic table is it in ?
Gain electrons-Group six and seven
What side of the periodic table are metals found?
left hand side
What side of the periodic table are non -metals found?
right hand side
Polymers
long chain molecules made up of monomers.
- Held up by strong covalent bonds
-There are inter molecular forces
graphite
-made up of layers of carbon
-each carbon is bonded by three other carbons
- one free delocalised electron
