Electrons, Bonding And Structure Flashcards
1
Q
Structure of sodium chloride
A
Giant ionic lattice as ions packed tightly in regular structure
2
Q
Ionic bonding
A
An electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions
3
Q
Covalent bonding
A
Strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms
4
Q
Dative Bond
A
A type of covalent bond between two atoms where the bonding electrons are supplied by one of the two atoms
5
Q
Property of ionic structure
A
Conduct electricity when molten or dissolved due to mobile ions
Have high melting and boiling point due to strong electrostatic forces
Dissolve in water due to water being attracted to charged ions
