Science (Ionic and Covalent) Flashcards
Metal + Non-Metal
Ionic Bond
Metal + Metal or Metalloid + Non-Metal
Covalent Bond
They form crystals
Ionic Compounds
The ions have regular repeating patterns called ______. It is formed because of the ions are attracted to each other and form a regular pattern with oppositely charged ions next to each other.
ionic lattice
They have high melting points and high boiling points.
Ionic Compounds
The greater the charge, the greater the electrostatic force of attraction, the stronger the ionic bond, the higher the melting point.
Ionic Compounds
They are hard and brittle
Ionic Compounds
Polarity
Ionic Compounds
refers to a separation of electric charge which will result from the difference of electronegativity between two atoms.
Polarity
______ ____ have a high polarity because of the great difference in its electronegativity (tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons).
Ionic Compounds
SOLUBILITY
Ionic Compounds
Electrical Conductivity
Ionic Compounds
When_______are dissolved in water the dissociated ions are free to conduct electric charge through the solution. Molten_______ (molten salts) also conduct electricity.
Ionic Compounds
Most ________ have relatively low melting points and boiling points.
Covalent Compounds
tend to be soft and relatively flexible and brittle.
Covalent Compounds
