C2.2 Bonding Flashcards
Properties of Metals:
Shiny Usually high MP and BP Soild at rt malleable ductile Good conductors of heat and electricity
Properties of Non-Metals
Dull Usually low MP and BP 1/2 liquid 1/2 gas at rt Brittle non-ductile insulators of heat and electricity
What ions do metals form?
Positive ions - lose electrons
What ions do Non-metals form?
Negative ions - gain electrons
Do metals react with each other?
No
Do Non-metals react with each other?
Yes - react to produce compounds which consist of molecules
Reaction with oxygen:
Metal Oxides produce alkaline solutions
Non-Metal oxides produce acidic solutions
Arrangement of the periodic table
Periods = horizontal rows Group = vertical columns - elements in a group have similar chemical properties
what does the electronic structure show?
How the electrons are arranged
Outermost shell = outer shell / valence shell
Different shells can hold different numbers of electrons
what does the last number of the electronic structure show?
The non-IUPAC group - group 0 have full valence shells
What does the number of numbers in the Electronic structure show?
Period number
What does the sum of the numbers show?
Atomic mass
What are ions?
Electrically charged particles formed when an atom or a group of atoms loses or gains electrons
How to model the formation of ions in an ionic compound?
Dot and cross diagrams
Describe the structure of a giant ionic lattice
Layers of Positive and negative ions held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction to form a lattice / regular structure
