structure and bonding in first 20 elements Flashcards
examples of metallic solid monatomic gas covalent networks discrete covalent molecular gas discrete covalent molecular solid
sodium helium carbon oxygen silicon
what is metallic bonding
positive metal ions surrounded by delocalised electrons high bp/mp
what is covalent molecular
two atoms joined by covalent bonding
have ldf bonds
what is
intramolecular bonds
intermolecular bonds
binds within the molecule
forces between the molecules
what is covalent networks
many atoms joined together by covalent bonds
high bp/mp
bonds must be broken for the solid to melt
covalent network-carbon diamond
4 bonds of carbon atoms
no delocalised electrons
can’t conduct electricity
covalent network-carbon graphite
fourth outer electron becomes delocalised, can conduct electricity between layers good lubricant
monatomic elements
not bonded
held by ldf
low bp/mp
what does it mean if an atom has a higher bp/mp than another
it requires more energy to overcome
talk about bonds
how many electrons
