C3- Structure And Bonding Flashcards
Covalent bond
The attraction between two atoms that share one or more electrons
Ionic bond
The electrostatic forever between a positively and negatively charged ions
Intermolecular forces
The attraction between the individual molecules in a covalent bonded substance
Polymer
A substance made from very large molecules
Delocalised electrons
Electron that is no longer associated with any other atoms
Fullerene
Form of element carbon that can exist as large cage-like structures
Metallic bonding
The electrostatic attraction between the positively charged atoms and delocalised electrons
Alloy
A mixture of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal
Ionic bonding properties
High bp/mp
Electrons are transferred
Ions are formed
Covalent bonding properties
Electrons are shared
No ions are formed
Between non-metals
Low mp/bp
