Bonding Flashcards
Metallic bonding definition
Strong electrostatic attraction of positive metal ion surrounded by sea of delocalised electrons
Metallic structure
Giant metallic lattice
Comparing strength of metallic bonds
Mg 2+ and Na +
CRAM
MG has a greater charge of 2+
MG has twice as many electrons in sea of delocalised electrons
MG ions are smaller meaning greater charge identity
Therefore, attraction between MG 2 plus and delocalised electrons are stronger
Four properties of metals
- Conductivity.= good and electrical and thermal conductors as a delocalised electrons help transfer energy through metal very efficiently and delocalised electrons can also flow hence metals also good conduct electricity very well
- Strength of metal= very strong and strong electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and delocalised electrons
- Malleable and ductile= metals can be hammered into shape which means they are malleable and can be pulled into wires which means they are ductile because of layers of metal ions can slide past one another
- Melting point and boiling point= high melting and boiling points because of strength of metallic bonds
Covalent bond definition
Shared pair of electrons between two atoms
Two types of covalent structures
Macromolecular or simple molecular
Three macromolecular structures
C
Si
SiO2
Strong covalent bonds between atoms
What is diamond and graphite known as?
AlloTropes as there are different structural forms of the same element
Diamond structure
Carbon atoms form 4 covalent bonds
Arrangement is tetrahedral
Very high melting point
Doesn’t conduct a electricity as no free electrons to carry a flow of charge
Graphite structure
Layers of carbon atoms forming three covalent bonds
Delocalised electrons between layers
Separate layers are held by a induced dipole forces
Fairly soft as each layer can slide over each other
Conducts electricity due to delocalised electrons
Still has a high melting point
Simple molecular structures
They have weak intermolecular forces between molecules
Ionic bond definition
Strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
Physical properties of ionic compounds
- High melting point on boiling point.
- Electrical conductivity =. Only when aqueous or molten
- Structural properties= Tend to be brittle and shatter easily
