Chapter 3: Bonding Flashcards
In an ionic bond, the bonds are between…?
Metals + non metal
In a covalent bond, the bonds are between…?
Non metals
In an metallic bond, the bond is between…?
Metals
Example of ionic bond?
NaCl
Example of macro-molecular bond?
Diamond, Graphite
An example of single molecular bond?
Iodine
Example of metallic bond
Magnesium
Properties of ionic bond
Electric conduct when molten because ions become free to move around meaning they can carry charge.
Properties of macro molecular bond
High melting point because of strong covalent bonds therefore lots of energy to break.
Properties of molecular bond
Low boiling point because weak van der waal forces, little energy needed to break.
Properties of metal bonding
High melting point, strong attraction between positive ions and negative electrons, lots of energy to break.
