Lecture 10-Chemical Bonding IV Flashcards
In an ionic bond, what do the +ve and -ve ions form from?
\+ve = metals -ve = non-metals
What is an ionic bond?
An electrostatic force between cations + anions
What is a covalent bond?
An electrostatic force between 2 nuclei + the shared e- pair
What is a dative covalent bond?
An electrostatic force between 2 nuclei + the shared e- pair
How strong is a dative covalent bond?
It’s indistinguishable from normal covalent once formed
Describe the polarity of the bonds?
Ionic = polar
Covalent = both
Dative covalent = often polar
Describe the solubility if the bonds in water?
Ionic = soluble
Covalent = depends on the molecule
Dative covalent = Depends on the molecule (often reacts with water)
Describe metallic bonding?
Electrostatic attraction between metal ions + mobile delocalised e-
What are delocalised e-?
E- not associated with a particular atom
What requirements are needed for metallic bonding?
The metal = low ionisation energies
(metal readily gives up their e- —> positive metal ions)
The metal = vacant valence orbitals
(e- move freely between overlapping orbitals)
What does the great strength of metals depend on?
- N.O of e-
- Packing of cations
Why are metals malleable + ductile?
+ve ions move over each other because of the e- between
Give 2 characteristics of metals?
- Good conductors of heat + electricity in solid,liquid state
- Lustrous
What type of forces determine melting + boiling points?
Intermolecular forces
Give an example of intramolecular forces?
- Polar covalent
- Non-polar
Give examples of intermolecular forces?
Dipole-dipole
Hydrogen bonds
When and where do attractive + repulsive operate?
Between e- + protons
when atoms / molecules approach each other
Can attraction be between permanent charges (ions) , permanent dipoles or induced dipoles?
Yes
