Ions, structure and metallic bonding Flashcards
Simple ions form when
Atoms lose or gain electrons
Negative ions
Anions- more electrons
Positive ions
Cations-more protons
Pairs for ionic compound

An ionic compound overall charge

Ionic bonding
Is when a metal and non metal react together
Ionic bond
Is oppositely charged ions that are strongly attracted to each other by electrostatic forces
Dot and cross diagram
E.g. 2.8.1 + 2.8.7 –> 2.8 +2.8.8
Ionic compound has
A giant ionic lattice and the ions form a closely packed regular lattice. Very strong electrostractic forces of attraction between the ions.
Ionic compound properties
High melting points High boiling points *due to strong attraction Don't conduct electricity but can in molten or liquid form High solubility
Covalent bonding is
A strong bond that forms when a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms.
Simple molecular substances are
Made up of molecules containing a few atoms joined by covalent bonds
Other dot and cross diagram
Put the two reacting electrons in the intersection(s) and place remaining electrons on the circles forming a vent diagram shape
Properties of simple molecular
Feeble inter molecular forces Low boiling points Low melting points *due forces of attraction are weak Increase as molecules get bigger Don't conduct electricity
Polymers are
Made of covalently bonded carbon chains
Fullerenes are
Molecules of carbon shaped into closed tubes or hollow balls
Giant covalent structures properties
Strong covalent bonds High melting and boiling points Due to energy needed to break bonds Don't have charged particles, don't conduct electricity Aren't soluble in water
Example of a giant covalents
Diamond-four bonds,rigid lattice structure,doesn’t conduct electricity
Graphite-three bonds,no bonds between layers,conducts electricity
Graphene-layer of graphite, example of fullerene,hexagon shape
How are fullerenes used
For trapping other molecules
Huge surface area - industrial catalysts
Metallic bonding involves
Delocalised electrons
The electrons in the outer shell of the metal atoms are delocalised (free to move) there are strong forces between the positive metal ions and the electrons. They hold the atoms together in the regular structure.
Physical properties of metals
- very strong
- high melting and boiling points
- shiny
- aren’t soluble in water
- malleable
- conduct heat and electricity
Non metals properties
- dull looking
- low melting and boiling points
- don’t conduct heat or electricity
