Chap 2 - Ionic, covalent, metallic, giant covalent Flashcards
define aqueous
dissolved in solution
define molten
melted
what are 2 types of mobile charge carriers
-ions
-electrons
define lattice
regular arrangement of alternating positive and negative ions.
Which diagram is used in ionic and simple covalent bonding
dot and cross
define an ionic bond
transfer of electrons between positive metal ions and negative non metal ions
What holds an ionic bond together
electrostatic forces of attraction between positive metal ions and negative non metal ions
Metals lose electrons to? (ionic)
form positive ions
non metals gain electrons to?(ionic)
form negative ions
which shell is the electron lost from or added to
valance shell
what must the electrical configuration of ions have
all shells must be full
if 2 diff atoms of same element have the same electronic configuration as ions, are they the same?
no because the proton numbers are diff.
how is the subscript of an element diff to the number in front of the element
subscript- there are that certain numbers of elements in the molecule
in front of element- there are that number of molecules
when explaining the dot and cross of an ionic bond what are the 4 things needed to say
-total number of electrons in each element and in each shell
-how much electron needed to fill the valance shell of the element
-therefore, how many atoms are needed
-gained = positive metal ions
lost = negative non metal ions
what is the structure in an ionic bond
lattice
explain the melting and boiling point of an ionic bond
high because the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between positive metal ions and negative non metal ions require a lot of energy to overcome
explain when and how electricity is conducted in an ionic bond
only when aqueous or molten because that is when the ions are mobile and can carry charge through the structure
when writing the dot and cross of ions on the electrons transferred, what goes first- number or charge
number
eg, 2+
when finding the number of atoms needed in an ionic dot and cross, what must you try to find
LCM of the numbers of electrons needed by the non metal and metal
define / describe metallic bond
a lattice of positive metal ions in a ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons held by electrostatic forces of attraction
what is the structure in an metallic bond
lattice
what holds metallic bonds together
electrostatic forces of attraction between positive metal ions and a ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons
are metallic bonds good conductors of heat and electricity
yes. they have delocalised electrons which are mobile and can carry charge or heat energy through the structure.
explain the melting and boiling point of metallic bonds
high, strong electrostatic forces of attraction between positive metal ions and a ‘sea’ of delicalised electrons require a lot of energy to overcome
