Stong Bonding: Covakent Molecular Flashcards
0
Q
Explain the terms intramolecular and intermolecular forces
A
Intramolecular: within molecules and strong
Intermolecular: between molecules and weak
1
Q
What is covalent molecular bonding?
A
Substance composed of atoms covalently bonded together in molecules
2
Q
Properties (covalent molecular):
- melting/boiling point
A
Low
- weak intermolecular forces
3
Q
Properties (covalent molecular):
- soft
A
Weak bonds
4
Q
Properties (covalent molecular):
- conductivity
A
Non-conductors
- Neutral electrons and protons are localised with each molecule and therefore charged particles are not free to carry charge or heat
