chem test Flashcards
(11 cards)
four major categories
ionic
covalent
metallic
network solids
all compounds will conduct electricity if..
ions or electrons are present
all compounds with strong bonds will have..
high boiling point and high melting point
ionic bonds
create ionic compounds
form due to the electrical attraction between positive and negative ions
metal and nonmetal or polyatomic ions
high mp and high bp
very strong bond
solid does not conduct electricity
liquid conducts electricity
all ionics transfer electrons
covalent bonds
create molecules
formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons
two nonmetals
weaker bond then ionic
bond polarity - difference in electro negativity
if difference is 0, the bond is non polar
molecular polarity- based on bond polarity and molecule shape (stable)
network bonds
hardest strongest category of substance (diamond, graphite, sand)
very strong bond
highest mp
metallic bonds
metals
surrounded by mobile electrons
conducts electricity solid and liquid
malleable (change shape by hammering down)
luster (shiny)
ductile
high mp and bp
positive metal ions in sea of mobile electrons conducts electricity
difference between intramolecular and intermolecular bonds
intramolecular - between atoms within a molecule
intermolecular - between molecules
intermolecular bonds
dipole dipole
dipole dipole
-occur between polar covalent and assymetrical molecules
-lower mp and bp than molecules with hydrogen bonds
-poor to moderate conduction of electricity
intermolecular bonds
hydrogen bonds
occurs when hydrogen is bonded to very electronegative atoms (N, O, F)
moderately strong bond
highest mp and bp of covalent compounds
intermolecular bonds
van der waals forces (“weak” forces)
only attraction between nonpolar molecules and noble gases
Weakest, attractive force
Substances have lowest MP and BP
Strongest, when more electrons and molecule or when closer together
Molecules do not conduct electricity
Very weak bond
