structure and bonding Flashcards
what is ionic bonding
electron transferred from metal to non-metal to make full outer shells creating charged particles (ions)
what is covalent bonding
electrons shared between two non metals to make full outer shell
what is dative covalent/coordinate bonding
when both electrons in shared pair are supplied from a single atom - this is indicated by drawing an arrow from lone pair donor
describe metallic bonding
lattice of positively charged ions surrounded by cloud of delocalised electrons
strength of metallic bonding
greater the charge + the smaller the atomic radius, the stronger the attraction
ionic properties
High mp/bp - strong att between + and - ions
Conductivity - yes when molten/solution as can move and carry charge, no when solid as can’t move freely
Brittle - when layers are distorted, like charges repel, breaking the lattice apart
metallic properties
high mp/bp - strong att between + ions and delocalised electrons
good conductors - delocalised electrons move and carry charge
malleable - layers of positive ions can slide over each other while maintaining metallic bonding
simple molecular
covalently bonded molecules held together by Van der Waals’ forces
simple molecular properties
low mp/bp - weak van der waals forces so easy to overcome
not conductors - no charged particles/delocalised electrons
what’s giant covalent
giant lattice of covalently bonded atoms

bent, 118 angle, eg O3
2 bond, 2 lone pair
bent v-shaped, 104.5 angle
eg H20
3 bond, 0 lone pair
trigonal planar, 120 angle
eg BF3
