Bonding - Intramolecular Bond Properties

Question 1

Metallic Bonding

Answer 1

Melting & Boiling Point: Generally High
Electrical Conductivity: Good conductors
Lustre: Shiny (due to delocalised electron sea)

Question 2

Ionic Bonding

Answer 2

Melting & Boiling Point: Generally High
Electrical Conductivity:
* Solid: Poor conductor
* Molten or Dissolved: Good conductor
Lustre: Non-shiny

Question 3

Covalent Bonding

Answer 3

Melting & Boiling Point: Varies
Electrical Conductivity: Generally a poor Conductor
Lustre: Non shiny but shiny in network covalent solids
