Chemical Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
Ionic bonding
A
Between a non-metal and a metal
2
Q
Covalent bonding
A
Between a non-metal and a non-metal
3
Q
Metallic bonding?
A
Within metals ONLY (pure alloys)
4
Q
What are ions?
A
Charged particles
5
Q
Ionic bonding has what?
A
A full outer shell
6
Q
Properties of ionic substances?
A
- brittle
- can’t conduct electricity
- soluble in water
- height melting point
- doesn’t conduct in a solid, but melted conducts
7
Q
Simple covalent bonds?
7.
A
1 . Lots of energy required
- Doesn’t conduct
- Bonding together
- None free
- Low melting point & boiling point
- No charge
- Soft and brittle as a solid
8
Q
Giant covalent structures?
4
A
- Solids: height melting point
- All of the atoms are bonded by strong covalent bonds
- Melt or boil
- Diamond and graphite
9
Q
Diamond
6
A
- Carbon atoms
- Tetrahedral arrangement
- 4 covalent bonds
- Hard, strong
- Doesn’t conduct electricity
- None spare, carbon in all bonds
10
Q
Graphite properties?
7
A
- Hexagonal
- Arranged in sheets that slid over each other
- Intermolecular forces between sheets (weak)
- Thinnest, malleable,2d, hard
- Does conduct
- 3 other atoms
- Some charged particles, delocalised electrons
11
Q
Both diamond and graphite properties?
5
A
- High melting points
- High boiling points
- Both made of carbon
- Giant structures
- Covalent bonds
12
Q
Metallic bonding properties?
A
- High melting and boiling points
- Arranged In Regular pattern
- Give up outer shell electrons to share
- Positive ions are formed
- Free electrons moving between ions; it’s the thing that helps conduct everything and holds together
- 1 electron per atom
- Solid metal
- Sea of ‘ delocalised’ electrons
- Lattice of ions
- No intermolecular forces
13
Q
Alloys properties?
A
Two or more different metals
Different sized atoms
Can’t slide, not in layers
Harder, stronger
14
Q
Malleable:
4
A
- Bend or hammer into shape, won’t break
- Strong
- Layers can slide over each other without breaking
- All same elements, atoms same size
15
Q
Fullerene?
A
- 60 carbon atoms In a ball
- 12 protons each
- 3 bonds for each carbon
- 1 free electron
