Structure And Bonding

Question 1

How many types of bonding are there?

Answer 1

Ionic, metallic and covalent.

Question 2

What is ionic bonding?

Answer 2

A stronge electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (SEABOCI)

Question 3

What happens to the structure in an ionic bonding?

Answer 3

1. Ions attract and form a 2d sheet
2. Continues and builds a giant 3D lattice

Question 4

What does lattice mean?

Answer 4

An Infinite repeating arrangement of particles

Question 5

What are the ionic properties?

Answer 5

1. Melting and boiling is high
   • SEABOCI therefore requires a lot of energy to break the bonds
2. Electrical conductivity
   • solid, good insulators no free moving electrons
   •liquid good conductors of electricity, free moving electrons allows current to flow
   • can also conduct electricity when dissolved in water to form solution (aq)

Question 6

What are the ionic properties? (Part 2)
