Unit 3.2 and 3.3 Ionic and Covalent Flashcards
Ionic Bonds are made from ___________
Ions!
What type of elements create Ionic Bonds?
A metal and a nonmetal:
ex: sodium + chloride
what kinds of ions are formed by metals?
positive ions
what kind of ions are formed by nonmetals
negative ions
What side of periodic table loses electrons?
left side (1+)
What side gains electrons?
Nonmetals (1-)
What are the 7 diatomic elenents?
Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine
Are ionic bonds stronger or weaker than covalent?
Ionic bonds are stronger because they transfer electrons instead of sharing them
What are the properties of ionic compounds
- Melting point is high, takes long
- Solubility- they dissolve EASILY
- Conductivity: solid compound can’t but the dissolved solution does
• Brittleness: High bc of crystal lattice, ions of same charge repel
What are properties of covalent bonds?
- Low melting points, bc of weak bond
- Solutiblity: some but not all dissolve
- Conductivity: most dont conduct electricity
why don’t covalent bonds create a charged particle
The Atoms SHARE valence electrons so they need more energy which causes a weaker bond
What would be the oxidation number of sodium+ iodine?
Ionic, sodium would become positive (1+) and chlorine would gain one electron (1-)
How many atoms and elements are in C^2O^4
atoms: 6
elements: 2
How many atoms are in C^3H^4Al^2
9 atoms!
How are crystal lattices arranged?
they are alternating protons and electrons
