C3- Structure and Bonding Flashcards
Ionic bonding!!!!
Between a metal and a non-metal. The metal becomes the positive ion and the non-metal is the negative ion.
Ionic bonding-
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
-4 electrons in outer shell=
Give away
Carbon
Doesn’t bond
Losing weight=
Positive
Ionic bonding
Use group num to change
Ionic compounds
High melting points, strong electrostatic forces of attraction
Covalent bonds
Two or more non metals
Hydrogen
Only like 2 electrons
Allotropes
Graphite and diamond- different structures of the same element
Delocalised electrons
Free electron (e-)
Graphite=
Hexagons
Diamond
Weird up
Intermolecular forces
The attraction between two covalent bonds
Nanoscience
Refers to structures 1-100nm in size a few hundred atoms.
