Unit 1: Structure And Bonding Flashcards
Elements present in Metallic Bonding
Metals
Elements present in Covalent Molecular bonding
N², H², O², Br², F² (diatomic molecules), S⁴, P⁸, C⁶⁰
Elements present in Covalent Network bonding
C, B, Si (graphite, diamond)
Elements present in monatomic bonding
Noble gases (they cannot form bonds with other atoms as they have full stable electron shells)
Which type of molecules can conduct
Metallic, (unless graphite in networks) due to delocalised electrons
Which have high mp and bp
Metallica and covalent network
Pure/non-polar covalent bonding
No ionic character, equal attraction, diatomic molecules, symmetrical, most carbon compounds, <0.5, (oils, fats, O2, N2, H2, noble gases, alkenes and alkanes)
Polar covalent bonding
Unevenly distributed, >0.5, between pure and ionic bonding on atom differences in molecules (H2O, alcohols, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, ketones)
Ionic bonding
Largest ionic character, >1.7, high mp and bp (NaCl, KCl)
London dispersion forces
Occurs in a lot of molecules, but is the only intramolecular force in non-polar/pure covalent bonds, weakest force
Permanent dipole permanent dipole interactions
Electrostatic attraction between two polar molecules (oppositely charged ends of molecules)
Hydrogen bonding
Occurs between Hydrogen and Nitrogen, Oxygen and Fluoride. Strongest bonding
