C3 Ionic Bonding, Metallic Bonding And Structure Flashcards
Ion?
An atom that has gained or lost electrons
What kinds of elements form ionic bonds?
Metals and non metals π€
What charges do ions from Groups 1 and 2 form?
Group 1 form 1+ Group 2 form 2+
What charges do ions from Groups 6 and 7 form?
Group 6 form 2- and Group 7 form 1-
Name the force that holds oppositely charged ions together?
Electrostatic force of attraction
Describe the structure of a giant ionic lattice
regular structure of alternating positive and negative ions, held together by the electrostatic force of attraction
Y do ionic substances have high melting points?
The electrostatic force of attraction between positive and negative ions is strong and requires lots of energy π to break
Y donβt ionic substances conduct electricity π‘ when solid ?
Ions r fixed π§ in position so cannot move, and there r no delocalised electrons
When can ionic substances conduct electricity π‘?
When melted or dissolved
Y do ionic substances conduct electricity when molten?
Ions r free to move π¦ and carry charge
Describe the structure of a pure metal
Layers of positive metal ions surrounded by delocalised electrons
Describe the bonding in a pure metal π€
Strong electrostatic forces of attraction between π° metal π€ ions and delocalised electrons
What r four properties of pure metals π€ π€ ?
Malleable
High melting/boiling points
Good conductors of electricity π‘
Good conductors of thermal energy π
Explain y pure metals r malleable
Layers can slide over each other easily
Explain y metals have high melting and boiling points
The electrostatic force of attraction between positive metal ions and delocalised electrons is strong πͺ and requires a lot of energy to break
