Ionic Compound is…
Made up of ions
Usually contain an anion and a cation = opposites attract
Lattice
Massive structure of ions
Opposite charges together - same charges don’t touch = same repel
Properties of IONIOC COMPOUNDS
4
High Melting & Boiling Points
Often soluble in water
Do not conduct electricity when solid
Do not conduct electricity when dissolved
Covalent Bond
Pair of electrons that are shared between atoms
STRONG
Intermolecular forces
Weak forces between molecules
Allotrope
Different structural form of the same element
Properties of diamonds
Very high melt & boil points
Doesn’t conduct = electrons can’t move
Very strong = covalent bonds
Insoluble in water
Properties of graphite
Very high melt & boil points
Conducts electricity = some electrons are free to move
Brittle and can slide = weak forces between layers
Insoluble in water
DELOCALISED ELECTRONS = not fixed
Monomers
Covalent bonds
Simple covalent bonds
Have double bonds
