Week 2 Flashcards
What is the key to understanding matter?
understanding the attractive and interactive forces between atoms
What do different interactions between atoms give rise to?
different classes of materials
What is the major determinant of material properties?
the types of bonds formed between atoms
What are the 3 primary (or stronger) types of bonds?
- ionic
- covalent
- metallic
What is the strongest bond?
ionic bond
When an electron from one element is given completely to another in return for forming the bond
ionic bond
In this type of bond, positive charge attracts a negative charge
ionic bond
What is an example of an ionic bond?
salt
NaCl
In this type of bond, atoms are shared.
covalent bond
True or false: covalent bonds are good conductors of heat and electricity
false
What are two examples of covalent bonds?
- Water (H2O)
- Ammonia (NH3)
In this type of bond, electrons are shared to form a bond and all atoms donate electrons to form an electron cloud.
Metallic bonds
These atoms are good donors of electrons
metals
True or false: Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
True
What is an example of a metallic bond?
pack of positive ions surrounded by negative delocalized electrons
Where in the periodic table would you find metal atoms and non metal atoms?
What are the two secondary (weaker) bonds?
- van der Waals
- hydrogen
What are secondary bonds based on?
attraction between atomic or molecular dipoles
This type of bond is between atoms or non-polar molecules that cause a temporary change in dipole moment arising from a brief shift of orbital electrons to one side of one atom or molecule.
van der Waals
This type of bond involves a hydrogen atom located between a pair of other atoms having a high affinity for electrons.
hydrogen bond
**pick up the FON
Are hydrogen bonds stronger than van der waals?
Yes.
Organize the bonds according to their relative strength (weak –> strong)
- van der waals
- ionic
- hydrogen
- metallic
- covalent
- van der waals
- hydrogen
- metallic
- covalent
- ionic
Classify covalent bonds, ionic bonds and metallic bonds as forming either molecules or lattices
- covalent bonds form molecules
- ionic and metallic bonds form lattices
When different elements bond together into a discrete unit
molecules
