Covalent Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
2 types of giant covalent structures
A
Graphite & Diamond
2
Q
Graphite Breakdown
A
Each carbon ion is connected to 3 carbon atoms.
Atoms & ions are arranged in layers of a circle form
Conducts electricity
High MP & BP lower than diamond
3
Q
Diamond Breakdown
A
Each Carbon ion is connected to 4 carbon atoms
Forms 4 bonds with each atom
Conducts electricity
High MP & BP
Strong Solube
4
Q
Lattice structure of ionic compounds
A
The ions have a regular, repeating arrangement called an ionic lattice .
5
Q
Ionic Compounds have
A
High MP & BP but not as high as covalent
6
Q
Ionic Compounds =
A
Higher charge between ionic bonds = stronger electrostatic force which means higher MP and BP
7
Q
Covalent Compounds =
A
Stronger the intermolecular forces = higher MP and BP
