What makes a molecular structure
Low melting point, covalently bonded
volatile…
How easily something turns into a gas
How to determine is a substance is volatile
Low boiling/melting point- always never conducts
non-volatile=
High boiling point
Energy is required to…
break bonds
Particles held tightly in fixed positions..
-are not free to move
-cannot conduct
Hard def…
How easy it is for a substance to be scratched
Sea of delocalized electrons…
formed by valence electrons through pure metals, therefore becoming a positive ion.
valence=
outside shell
metallic lattice…
regularly arrangement of positive ions embedded in a sea of delocalized electrons
metallic bond…
electrostatic force of attraction between layers
Rigid=
won’t bend but will break
Strong bonds have…
High melting points
Greater the charge=
stronger the attraction
Little particles are more…
Tightly packed together
bigger particles are…
loose
What makes ionic compounds conduct as a liquid?
=>Ion released from a lattice structure
=>free to move
=>solution conducts electricity
Allotropes=
Different form of the same element
what is octet expansion?
Forms more bonds in some cases
