Metallic bonds
The strong electrostatic attraction between cations and the ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons.
Metallic bonds (Good conductors of electricity)
Valence electrons that form the ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons. If a voltage is supplied. The electrons from the ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons will move towards a positive terminal of power supply. The cations will remain stationary in fixed positions. The movement of the valence electrons will conducts a charge.
Metallic bonds (Good conductors of heat)
Electrons in the ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons are mobile, hence they are able to conduct heat in the form of (kinetic energy) through the lattice. The vibration of these particle also plays a role in flow of heat through the metal lattice.
Metallic bonds (Malleable and ductile)
The bonding between cations and the ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons are known to be ‘non-directional’, therefore they cannot move in relation to each other without breaking bonds between the delocalised electrons. This allows metals to change shape.
Metallic bonds (solid at room temperature)
Strong attractive forces between the cations and the ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons hold the metallic lattice together. Consequently a high room temperature is required to disrupt the lattice allowing it to melt.
Metallic bonds (Hard)
Strong attraction between the cations and the ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons provide a cohesive force golding the structures together.
Metallic bonds (Not brittle)
No, due to the delocalised electrons in the metallic bond allowing atoms to slide past each other without breaking bonds.
Ionic Bonds
A strong electrostatic force of attraction between opposite charges.
Ionic Bonds (Poor conductors of electricity during solid phase)
In an ionic solid, the ions are tightly held together in fixed positions within the lattice. thus they are unable to move and carry a charge. The absence of movement of these particles means ionic solids are unable to conduct a charge. Therefore being a poor conductor of electricity.
Ionic Bonds (Good conductors of electricity during molten and aqueous phase)
In a molten or aqueous solution Ions are able to mov and carry a charge throughout the ionic fluid. The positive ion goes towards the negative electrode, and the negative ion goes towards the positive electrode. This movement of ions help conduct a charge of electricity
Ionic (HARD AND BRITTLE)
If a large force is applied to an ionic structure, It can cause layers of ions to move. This forces identical charged ions to forcefully align with each other. This creates repulsion. This repulsive force exceeds that force of attraction leading for the ionic compound to break
Ionic Bonds (High MP/BP)
Ionic bonds have strong electrostatic forces between ions, this results to the lattice keeping individual ions in fixed positions. Thus a high temperature is needed to break or overcome the ionic lattice.
Ionic Bonds (poor heat conductors)
Poor heat conductors in a solid state due to the rigid lattice structure restricting ion movement.
Examples of Ionic bonds
(NACL) (KI) (NAOH) (CSCL) (MGO) (MHOH)
Covalent molecular
Strong electrostatic attraction between the positive nucleus and shared electrons in a molecule
Covalent molecular (non conductors of electricity in all phases)
Due to the electrons in a covalent bond being localised in an atom. None of these electrons are able to move independently. Making the absence of mobile charged particles.
THEY DO NOT CONTAIN IONS
Covalent molecular (Some conductors of electricity)
When a Covalent molecular substance mixes with water or an aqueous solution it is known to be ionised. This will make the electrons delocalised and able to move. This mobility will allow the network to conduct electricity.
Covalent molecular (Soft and Weak)
Covalent molecules have strong intramolecular forces between the atoms in between molecules. However they have weak intermolecular forces of attraction between neighbouring molecules. Molecules are separated easily from one another.
Covalent molecular (Low m.p/b.p)
When a substance heats or boils, week intermolecular forces are overcome and broken. Weak bonds in the lattice of a covalent bonds in solid phase are easily broken by heat melting/boiling into liquid or gas.
Covalent molecular (Brittle)
Yes in solid form
Covalent molecular (lusturous)
No, typically composed of non-metals.
Covalent network
The strong electrostatic force of attraction between positive charged nucleus and shared electrons throughout the structure.
Covalent network (Non conductors of heat)
Electrons in these substances are held in fixed positions between the atom’s shells/ covalent bonds. These electrons are unable to freely move therefore unable to conduct a charge
Covalent network (Very hard and brittle)
Strong bonds occur between all atoms within a covalent molecule structure. This continuous array of strongly bonded atoms are difficult to distrust.
