D.I.R.T chemistry Flashcards
giant ionic: describe the melting/boiling point[3]
it has a high melting point because the electrostatic force of attraction requires a lot of energy to break
giant ionic: describe the conductivity[3]
it is only able to conduct electricity when it is in liquid form because the Ions are free to move and is then able to carry the charge
simple covalent: describe the melting/boiling point[3]
it has a low melting point because there are weak intermolecular forces that require a small amount of energy to overcome
simple covalent: describe the conductivity[3]
doesn’t conduct because no delocalized electrons to carry charge through the structure
giant metallic: describe the melting/boiling point[3]
it has a high melting point because there is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between positively charged metal ions and delocalized electrons that requires a lot of energy to break
giant metallic: describe the conductivity [3]
it can conduct because it has delocalized electrons that can carry the charge
giant covalent: describe the melting/boiling point [3]
it has a high melting point because the covalent bonds require a lot of energy to break
giant covalent: describe the conductivity[2]
it does not conduct electricity because there are no delocalized electrons but graphite does
describe the structure and bonding in sodium chloride
has to include that it has a giant lattice structure, have to say something about Ions, have to talk about Na+ and Cl-, and finally say that the electrostatic force of attraction
