Properties Flashcards
Most metal properties
Are lustrous
Are hard
Malleable
Have a high density
Have a high tensile strength
Have a high melting and boiling point
Are good conductors of heat and electricity
Giant covalent structure
Contain huge numbers of non-metal atoms
No delocalised electrons
Very strong bonds between and within particles
Intramolecular bonds
Those within the molecule that keep the molecule together, for example, the bonds between the atoms.
Intermolecular bonds
the attractions between molecules, which determine many of the physical properties of a substance.
Simple covalent molecules
Low melting and boiling points
Do not conduct electricity
