ionic bonding and properties of substances Flashcards
linear
2 bonds
Always between diatomic molecules.
pyrimdal
3 bonds
v-shaped
2 bonds
tetrahedral
4 bonds
ionic bonds
formed between metals and non-metals
ionic bonds are formed when
a metal transfers its electrons to a non-metal
when metal loses an electron
it becomes positive
when a non metal gains an electron
it becomes negative
ionic compounds exist as
ionic lattices when in a solid state
an ionic lattice consists of
positive and negative ions surrounded by ionic bonds.
the melting point tells us about
the strength of the bond being broken.
higher melting point =
stronger bonds
covalent molecules
low melting bond
inter -molecular is
the bond in molecules
intra molecular is
bonds between molecules
an example of a covalent molecular structure is
methane
covalent networks
high melting point
covalent networks are all
covalently bonded
an example of a covalent network is
silicon dioxide
ionic compounds
high melting point
an example of an ionic compound
sodium chloride
solubility
the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent
most common solvent is
water
solutions made by dissolving solutes in water make
aqueous solutions
