(49 cards)
types of chemical bonding
- ionic
- covalent
- metallic
what is ionic bonding
the mutual electrostatic attraction between ions of opposite charges
how to name ionic compounds
- cation first
- anion second
how to find the name of an ion
the element name + ‘ide’ (e.g. chlorine ion = chloride)
(oxygen atom present, _ate)
what is the formulae to find ionic compounds
cross multiply
what is important when drawing the ions (with different charge) of ionic compounds
put the number infront of the ion that does not have enough to cancel out the other ion
(e.g. 2[ion drawing]

ionic bonding forms
giant ionic crystal lattice structure at room temperature
what does the giant ionic crystal lattice structure consists of
large numbers of alternating positive and negative ions held together by strong electrostatic forces
physical properties of ionic substances
- high melting and boiling point
- hard but brittle
- soluble in water
- insoluble in organic solvents
- can conduct electricity
how to identify melting and boiling point
- type of forces of attraction
- strength of force
- amount of energy required to overcome
what is required for electrical conductivity
presence of mobile ions or free-moving electrons
what states can conduct electricity
- liquid
- aqueous
what affects the melting point of an ionic compound
ionic bond
stronger ionic bond…
higher melting point
what is covalent bonding
atoms share electrons to obtain noble gas electronic configuration
what elements can be bonded using covalent bonding
non metal + non metal
