Ionic bonding
Strong electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions
Why do giant ionic lattices have high boiling points?
- held together by many strong covenant bonds
- a large amount if energy required to break the bonds and cause the substance to melt
Why do ionic compounds not conduct electricity when solid?
- when solid the ions are in the fixed lattice so can’t move
- when liquid/molton the ions can move
How is a covalant bond formed?
Is formed between atoms by sharing a pair of electrons
What are covelnat bonds?
The string electrostatic for of attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of both bonding atoms
What are the diatomic molecules?
Hydrogen,oxygen,nitrogen,halogens,hydrogen
Why are substances with simple molecular structure gases or liquids
There is weak intermolecular forced of attraction between the molecules
Why do the boiling points of substances with simple molecular structure increases with relative molecular mass?
As molecular mass increases, the force of attraction becomes stringer and therefore more energy is required to break the bonds
Why do substances with giant covalent structures are solids with a high melting point?
They are held together by many string covenant bonds therefore a large amount of energy is required
How do the structures of diamond influence their physical properties?
Electrical conductivity - cant conduct, molecules are neutral + can’t move
Hardness - very hard, has a rigid tetrahedral arrangement + difficult to break covalent bonds
How does the structure of graphite influence their physical properties?
Conductivity- can conduct - it has delocalised electrons that can move
Hardness - it is soft because the layers can slide over each other and the attractions between layers are weak
How does the structure of C60 fullerene influence their physical properties?
- conductivity- can’t conduct - no charged particles tear can move
- hardness - soft and slippery: weak intermolecular forces of attraction, molecules aren’t in fixed position
Do covenant binds conduct electricity?
Not usually
