Unit 1 - Covalent & Ionic Bonding Flashcards

(27 cards)

1
Q

Why do atoms form bonds?

A

To achieve a full stable electron arrangement.
(Like noble gases)

They do this by either sharing or transfering electrons.

Q

Covalent bonds in elements - diatomic elements

A

Some non metal elements join together in twos. They share electrons to have full outer shells.

They are Called DIATOMIC ELEMENTS.

Q

Covalent bonds

A

Atoms share electrons so the atoms are now stable.

Between 2 or more non metal atoms.

A covalent bond is an electrostatic force of Attraction between the positive nuclei and the shared electrons.

Q

How are ionic bonds formed?

A

Ionic bonds are formed when atoms TRANSFER electrons.

Usually a metal and a non metal atom.

Q

What atoms form ionic bonds?

A

USUALLY metal and non-metal atoms

Non metals atoms gain the electrons (- charges)
Metal atoms lose electrons (+ charges)

Q

Ionic bonds - properties

A

Always solid at room temperature

high melting and boiling points because of the strong ionic bonds between the ions.

Tend to dissolve in water

17
Q

Covalent bonds - properties

A

Can be any state at room temperature

Tend to be insoluble in water

Low boiling and melting points

Poor conductors of heat and electricity

???

18
Q

Ionic bonds - structure

A

Lattice structure

Conducts when in a solution and molten.

19
Q

Covalent bonds - structure

A

Network structure
- high melting point

Molecule
- low melting point

(Never conducts electricity)

20
Q

The different types of bonds

A
  1. Ionic lattice
  2. Metallic lattice
  3. Covalent molecule
  4. Covalent network
21
Q

Covalent network- properties

A

Low melting point ?
Low boiling point ?

Weak intermolecular forces ONLY hold the molecules as solids

NO COVALENT BONDS ARE BROKEN WHEN MELTING OR BOILING

Do not conduct
Usually insoluble in water

Non-metals
Very high melting point ???
Very high boiling point 
Strong and hard
Insoluble in water 
Do not conduct - except for graphite
22
Q

Ionic bonds structure

A

Ionic compounds always have giant ionic lattice structures. The ions form a closely packed regular lattice.

There are very strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions.

23
Q

Covalent compounds shapes

A

Linear

Angular

Trigonal pyramidal

Tetrahedral

24
Q

Covalent molecule - properties

A

Covalent molecules are small molecules with strong covalent bonds within the molecule but weak intermolecular forces between molecules.

  • low melting and boiling points because of the weak intermolecular forces (which are broken easily during these state changes). (*no covalent bonds are broken when melting or boiling)
  • this is also why they are GASES at room temperature.
  • Cannot conduct electricity because they have no changed particles which are free to move.
  • insoluble in WATER
25
Covalent network - properties
A covalent network is one giant structure made up of very strong covalent bonds. - VERY high melting and boiling points because they have very strong covalent bonds which would require alot of energy to break. - CANNOT conduct electricity (except for graphite) - insoluble due to their large size.
26
Ionic lattice properties
- high melting and boiling points because they contain strong ionic bonds which must be broken in order to change state (and to break up lattice structure) - cannot conduct as a solid because the charged particles are not free to move. - can conduct as a liquid or in solution/molten because their charged particles (ions) are free to move towards oppisitely charged electrodes. - soluble in water because as they dissolve the lattice structure breaks up so the ions are free to move and be surrounded by water molecules.
27
What elements form giant covalent network structures?
Carbon in the form of graphite or diamond. Boron Silicon
