Covalent bonds Flashcards
covalent bond
electron are shared between two non metals
covalent molecules properties
low melting and boiling point . Doesnt conduct electricity (molecules dont have an overall charge)
why do covalent bonds have low mp and bp
strong covalent and weak intermolecular as vibrations between molecules increase the covalent bonds become strong enough to break the intermolecular forces. molecules hold onto together and becomes a gas
structure of ionic bonds
giant ionic lattice (three dimensional) every positive ion is surrounded by negative ions.strong forces of attraction
properties of ionic compounds
high melting & boiling point. cant conduct electricity when solid (ions are locked in) can conduct electricity when melted(ions can move and carry the chagre)
metallic bonding structure
giant structure atoms arranged in layers. electrons i the outer energy level of each atom is delocalised
properties of metallic bonds
stong attraction between delocalised negative electrons and positive metal ions.
high melting and boiling point.
good conductors of heat and electricity .
physical properties of metals
easily bent and shaped (layers of atoms are able to slide over eachtoher
london forces
weak and easily broken. caused by random electron movement. strength is depended on number of elctrons.

when are hydrogen bonds formed?
hydrogen atoms bond to either flourine,oxygen or nitrogen
