C2.2 Bonding Flashcards
Metals vs non metals characteristics
Metals | non metals
Shiny | dull
High melt and boil point | low melt and boil point
Malleable | brittle
Ductile | not ductile
Heat and electricity good conductors | heat and electricity bad conductors
Old group numbers of periodic table and IUPAC group numbers
Old group numbers from 1 to 0
IUPAC group numbers from 1 to 18
What is periodic table
Table which all the elements are arranged in rows and columns.
In order of increasing atomic number (modern periodic table).
Metals on left
Non metals on right.
Chemical properties of metals and non metals
Metals lose electrons to form + ions
Non metals gain electrons to form - ions
Metals DON’T react with each other
Non metals react with each other to produce compounds that consist of molecules.
Both may react with oxygen producing oxides
Metal oxides dissolved in water make alkaline solution and non metal oxides produce acidic solutions.
Periods and groups on the periodic table
Periods - horizontal - rows - Where each atom has the same number of occupied electron shells
Groups - Vertical - columns - elements have similar properties due to the arrangement of their electrons.
How many electrons per outer shell
Electronic structure of an element
Shows how the electrons are arranged in its atoms.
Outer shell
Outermost occupied electron shell.
Arrangements of electrons around the nucleus
Around the nucleus in shells - different shells can hold different numbers of electrons
Shell - maximum number of electrons
First - 2
Second - 8
Third - 8
Fourth - 18
Work out electronic structure
Counting from hydrogen, period by period until you reach the element you want.
Period 1: 2 electrons in outer shell
Period 2: 8 electrons in outer shell
Period 3: 6 electrons in outer shell
Ion
Electrically charged particle formed when an atom, group of atoms loses or gains electrons.
Atom with equal numbers of protons and neutrons but has different number of electrons. The overall charge can be positive or negative (charged particles)
Metals form + ions as they lose electrons
Non metals gain electrons and form - ions.
When drawing an electron diagram
Ions go inside brackets
Element symbol written in the centre
Dots in element 1 crosses in element 2 to represent the electrons
What happens when a metal reacts with a non metal
Electrons are transferred from the metal’s atoms to the non metal’s atoms.
Structure and bonding in ionic compounds
Contain positive and negative ions arranged in a regular way.
This arrangement is giant ionic lattice
Giant = arrangement repeated many times
Ionic = Held in place with ionic bonds, that act in all directions
Are strong electrostatic forced of attraction
Lattice = arrangement is regular and not random.
Happens between a metal and non metal
formed when one or more outer shell electrons are transferred from metal atom to non - metal atom
What is a covalent bond
Shared pair of electrons to complete each atom’s outer shell
Happens between 2 non metals
involve electrostatic forces of attraction between the nucleus of each bonded atom and the shared electrons
Strong bonds
What is a molecule
Particle in which non metal atoms are joined to each other with covalent bonds
