What are isotopes?
Same element with a different number of neutrons in their nucleus which results in a changed mass number
Name some examples of polyatomic ions
Sulfate and hydroxide
What are the 4 specific covalent molecular substances that we have to know?
IDK
Name a metal which is an exception to the high melting point physical property (douevenenglishbrah)
Mercury
In order for something to conduct electricity what does it need to have?
Mobile charged particles
What does a very high melting/boiling point mean?
Strong covalent bonding extending throughout the lattice
For a covalent bond what does non-conductivity of electricity in a solid/liquid form mean?
Electrons are fixed
What is the one exception
Graphite don’t ask me why
For a covalent bond what does hard and brittle mean?
Atoms strongly bound, distortion breaks
For a covalent bond what does insolubility in water and most other solvents mean?
Strongly bonded throughout the lattice
For a metallic bond what does a high melting/boiling point mean?
strong metallic bonds exist throughout the lattice
In a metallic bond what does a relatively high density suggest
ions are tightly packed in the lattice
For an ionic bond what does hard and brittle mean?
Ions are tightly bound by electrostatic forces in the lattice
In an ionic bond why is electrical conductivity when in solid form not a thing?
Electrons are fixed
