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
1&7
2&6
An ionic compound overall charge
0
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
