what is ionic bonding
oppositley charged ions held together by electrostatic attraction
how to work out ionic formula
write two ions
Ca 2+ NO3 -
swap charges
Ca - NO3 2+
drop charges
Ca (NO3)2
simplify
Ca(no3)2
what are the properties of ionic bonds
most disolve in water - polar
conduct electricity when molten or disolved - ions free
brittle, layers slide, positive aligned with positive, repel
high mp, strong electrostatic forces
what affects the strength of an ionic bond
size of the charge
- bigger charge = stronger electrostatic attraction
- more energy
size of ion
- smaller ion = stronger electrostatic attraction
- ions can pack together more closley
- more energy
what happens to ionic radius down a group and why
increases
number of shells increases
what are isoelectric ions
diffferent atoms that have same number of electrons
what happens to the ionic radius of isoelectric ions ar atomic number increases and why
decreases
more protons pulling electron shells
what evidence is there for charged oartickes including colours and ions
electrolysis of copper (II) chromate (VI) on wet filter paper - green
positive Cu 2+ ions move towards -ve cathode - blue
negative CrO4 2- ions move towards +ve anode - yellow
what is covalent bonding
sharing of outer electrons to obtain a full shell
electrostatic attraction between shared electrons and +ve nucleus
what is a dative bond
one atom dontates 2 electrons
draw the bonding in NH4
see covalent bonding flash card
how do bond enthalpy and bond length link
shorter bond = higher bond enthalpy
what forces are there in covalent molecules and between what
forces of attraction - +ve nucleui and -ve electrons
repulsive forces - 2 +ve nuclei and between electrons of atom
what is bond length in terms of forces
balance between attractive and repulsive forces
what happens to the atrractive force, bond length and bond enthalpy when high electron density
stronger attraction
shorter bond length
higher bond enthalpy
