C3- Structure and bonding Flashcards
2 assumptions about particle model
2 key facts when we change the temp of the model
Solid spheres of identical size
No forces between particles
-Size and shape stays same
-Energy changes, faster if hotter
3 limitations of the particle model
-Particles aren’t solid
-Particles aren’t spherical
-There are forces between the particles

Metallic bonding Defintion
Strong force of attraction between positive metal ions and negative delocalised electrons
Metallic bonding
Structure
A giant lattice of metal ions with delocalised electrons
Metallic bonding
Melting point
High melting point, strong electrostatic attraction between metal ions and delocalised electrons, takes high energy to break
Metallic bonding
Electrical conductors
Good electrical conductors, delocalised electrons can carry charge through the lattice
Metallic bonding
Thermal conductors
Good thermal conductors, delocalised electrons move through the lattice transferring thermal energy
Alloy definition
A mixture of two or more elements, one of which is a metal
Ionic bonding
Definition
The strong force of electrostatic attraction between positive ions and negative ions
Ionic bonding is between…
Metals and non-metals
Ionic bonding
Structure
Giant structure of cations and anions
Ionic bonding
Melting point
High melting point, strong forces of attraction between ions of opposite charge, takes lots of energy to break
