Science Chemistry revision Flashcards
What are the 5 structures types?
Ionic
Simple molecular
Metallic
Monoatomic
Giant Covalent
True or false, ionic has a giant lattice structure
True
Describe simple molecular?
It has a covalent bond, and it is between non metals only and it has low melting and boiling point due to weak intermolecualr forces
Describe giant covalent?
It has covalent bonding giant lattice structure and high melting and boiling point
Why does ionic have a high melting and boiling point
the reason is because they have strong electrostatic attraction.
Describe ionic bonding?
ionic bonding between a metal and a non metal, it has a high melting point and boiling point, it has a giant lattice structure and it has got strong electrostatic attraction
Describe metallic bonding?
bonding between metals only, it has a giant lattice structure and it has got a high melting point and boiling point
Do non metal ions lose or gain electrons?
they gain electrons
What are group 7 elements called?
Halogens
What are group 0 elements called?
Noble gases
What are group 1 elements called?
Alkaline metals
What is the overall charge of non metals and metals when they combine together?
Zero
What is electronegativity?
The tendency to attract the bonding pair of electrons
What is the equation to calculate the relative formula mass
Mass= Mr x Moles
What is Hunds rule
Electrons prefer to occupy orbitals on their own, and only pair when no orbitals of the same energy are available
what is attenuation
the loss of a signal
