Section Three Flashcards
Solid, liquid, gas , covalent
Not mobile, mobile, do not have ions
Covalent does not conduct
Electrons fixed to atoms
Not charged
Ionic bonding
Positive + negative ions
Electrostatic attraction of + and - charges
Loss and gain of electrons
Covalent networks
Substances-> giant molecules
Made of atoms
Joined by continuos covalent bonding
Diamonds, graphite , silica
Metals
Metal ions have freed electrons
Delocalised electrons
“Metal ions in a ‘sea of electrons’”
Metallic bond
Metal ions attracted to delocalised electrons
Very strong force
Covalent molecules
Compete for electrons
SHARE electrons
Covalent bond= electrons are shared by atoms
Molecules
Group of atoms
Bonded together
No bonds to other atoms
Weak forces of attraction
Covalent molecules
Exist as separate molecules
Strong bonds in molecules
Weak forces between molecules
?-? - - - - - -?-?
Strong covalent bonds
Weak inter molecular attraction
Conducting electricity
Must have mobile changed particles
Metals have electrons, not fixed
Will conduct, electrons have charge
