Chem bonding and structures of matter Flashcards
Bonding present in a Ionic Compound?
Strong electrostatic forces of attraction hold positive ions and negative ions together to form a giant lattice structure
mistake: no ionic crystal
Structure of Ionic bonds
Giant Ionic Crystal Lattice Structure
Volatility of a ionic compound
High melting and boiling point.
Large amount of energy needed to overcome strong electrostatic forces of attraction present between ions in the giant lattice structure
State of ionic compounds
Solids at room temperature
Why? high volatility
Solubility of ionic compounds
Soluble in water (polar solvents) , but not in organic compounds.
Type of attraction in ionic compounds similar to that of water, but not in organic solvents.
Electrical Conductivity of ionic compound 💕
In solid:
Ions are held together in fixed position in a giant ionic crystal lattice structure
In liquid:
Strong electrostatic forces of attraction (BONDS) between ions are broken down (completely), ions can move freely (mobile) and conduct electricity.
Bonds of a covalent compound (SMS)
Simple discrete molecules held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction between positively-charged nucleus and negatively-charged shared pair of electrons
*common mistake: muss diff btw gms i.e simple discrete molecules NOT atoms
Bonds present btw atoms vs bonds present btw molecule (SMS)
Each atom is held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction»_space; large amount of energy needed to overcome
Note: higher bp tk do this (i.e atomization)
structure of the covalent compounds
simple molecular structure
Volatility for Covalent Compound (SMS)
Small amount of energy is needed to overcome weak intermolecular forces of attraction btw molecules, thus, there there is a lower bp/mp
state of the covalent compound at r.t.p (SMS)
exist as liquid/gas at r.t.p»_space;low mp/bp
Solubility of Covalent Compounds (SMS)
Soluble in organic solvents and NOT polar solvents
Electrical conductivity of Simple Molecular Structure
Cannot conduct electricity in ANY STATE as SMS made of molecules which do not carry any charge, thus cannot conduct electricity due to the absence of mobile CHARGE carriers.
*mistake: charge
Bonding present in Covalent Compound (GMS)
EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF atoms held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction btw positively charged nucleus and negatively-charged shared pair of electrons.
Volatility of Covalent Compound (GMS)
Large amount of energy needed to break apart strong efoa btw positively charged electrons and negatively charged shared pair of electrons
*just covalent bonds can too
