states structures and bonding Flashcards
types of bonding
affects a substances properties because its all to do with how much energy you need to put in to get the atoms ions molecules apart
for e.g. the stronger the bonds the more energy you will need to break that bond so the melting point is higher
simple covalent bonding
have strong bonds within each molecule but only weak intermolecular forces between the molecules leading to low melting/boiling points
metallic bonding
because the metal ions are strongly attached to its sea of delocalised electrons its has a high melting/boiling points
ionic bonding
the positive and negative ions are strongly attached to each other the strong electrostatic attraction means its has a high melting/boiling points
giant covalent bonding
held to together by strong covalent bonds these bonds take alot of energy to break so its has a high melting/boiling points
