chemistry Flashcards
Bonding Ionic , Melting point
High:
* Many strong bonds in giant lattice
* Bonds must be broken to melt
* Lots of energy required to break bonds
* Higher charges on ions means higher melting point due to stronger attraction
Bonding Ionic , Description of bonding
Electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions
Bonding Ionic Electrical conductivity When solid
When solid: No
* Ions not free to move
When molten / aqueous: Yes
* Ions free to move
What is the structural shape of metalic bonding ?
Giant lattice
metalic bonding desciption of bonding
Electrostatic attraction between positive ions and sea of delocalised electrons
metalic bonding melting point
High:
* Strong attraction between delocalised electrons and lattice of positive ions
* Lots of energy required to break bonds
Melting point affected by charge on positive ion and number of electrons donated to ‘sea’.
Group 1 not typical and have fairly low MP.
metalic bonding electric conductivity
Yes
* Delocalised electrons can move
Covalent
Simple molecules melting point
low * Weak intermolecular forces between molecules.
* Not much energy needed to overcome the intermolecular forces.
Bonds within molecules are strong but these are not broken when melting.
covalent simple structure ?
Electrostatic attraction between shared pair of electrons and nuclei of both atoms
covalent simple Electrical conductivity
no delocalized electrons to carry charges
describe Covalent Bonding giant lattice structure
Electrostatic attraction between shared pair of electrons and nuclei of both atoms
Covalent Bonding giant meting point
High:
* Many strong bonds in giant lattice
* Bonds must be broken to melt
* Lots of energy required to break bonds
Covalent Bonding giant Electrical conductivity
Electrical conductivity When solid: No
* Ions not free to move
When molten / aqueous: Yes
* Ions free to move Yes
* Delocalised electrons can move No
* No ions
* No delocalised electrons Most: No
* No ions
* No delocalised electrons
Specific examples: diamond, silicon dioxide
Graphite: Yes
* Each carbon only forms 3 bonds
* Delocalised electrons can move
