Properties of Bonding

Question 1

What is the structure of ionic bonding?

Answer 1

Ionic Lattice

Question 2

What are the properties of ionic lattice structures in terms of conductivity, melting/boiling points and state at room temperature?

Answer 2

Ionic lattice structures conduct only when molten or in solution
Ionic lattice structures have high melting/boiling points
Ionic lattice structures are solids at room temperature

Question 3

What allows ionic lattice structure to conduct electricity when molten or in solution?

Answer 3

When these compounds are molten or in solution, the ions break up to form free ions which can carry a charge

Question 4

What are the properties of Covalent Molecular structures in terms of conductivity, melting/boiling points and state at room temperature?

Answer 4

Covalent Molecular structures never conduct
Covalent Molecular structures have low melting/boiling points
Covalent Molecular structures are liquids, gases or low melting point solids at room temperature

Question 5

What are the properties of Covalent Network structures in terms of conductivity, melting/boiling points and state at room temperature?

Answer 5

Covalent Network structures never conduct
Covalent Network structures have very high melting/boiling points
Covalent Network structures are solids at room temperature

Question 6

What are the properties of Metallic bondsin terms of conductivity, melting/boiling points and state at room temperature?

Answer 6

Mettalic bonds always conduct
Mettalic bonds have varied melting/boiling points
Mettalic bonds are sometimes solids at room temperature
