what is ionic bonding
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions • between a metal and a non metal • electrons are transferred from a non metal to a metal to achieve a full outer shell • oppositely charged particles attract through electrostatic forces to form giant ionic lattice
what is covalent bonding
a shared pair of electrons. the electron pair is attracted by both nuclei so resists seperation • forms between two non-metals • electrons are shared between the two outer shells to achieve a full outer shell.
a dative bond (coordinate bond)
a covalent bond where both electrons in the shared pair originate from the same atom
what is metallic bonding
the attraction between positive metal ions and the surrounding sea of delocalised electrons
why do electron pairs repel
to get as far apart from each other as possible
what are the five regular molecular shapes
linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, octahedral
why do lone pairs take up more space
because they’re closer to the nucleus and repel more strongly than bonding pairs
how much does a lone pair reduce the bond angle by
2.5
what is electronegativity
The power of an atom to attract the pair of electrons in a covalent bond
how is electronegativity affected
• as nuclear charge increases so does electronegativity • as atomic radius increases, so does shielding, so electronegativity decreases
why does electronegativity increase across a period
the nuclear charge increases meaning the outer electrons are more attracted to the nucleus, reducing the atomic radius
why does electronegativity increase up a group
as there are fewer energy levels so the outer electron is more attracted to the nucleus
what is a polar molecule
one in which the electron density across the whole molecule is unevenly distributed • polar is non-symmetrical • non polar is symmetrical
what are dipole-dipole forces
they’re between polar molecules
what is hydrogen bonding
between a lone pair and H • only N,O,F • strongest intermolecular force
what are van der Waal’s forces
• weakest intermolecular force • exists between all molecules at all times and are in addition to any other intermolecular forces • the more electrons the stronger they are as they’re caused by the movement of electrons
what is boiling
vaporisation - the energy needed to boil a liquid - enthalpy of vaporisation
what is melting
fusion- the energy needed to melt a solid - enthalpy of fusion
what is the process of a gas to a solid
sublimation
what are the crystal structures
giant ionic, giant metalic, simple covalent, giant covalent
why do ionic crystals have high melting points
they have strong electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions
why are ionic crystals non-conductors when solid but conduct when molten or in solution
• ions are free to move around in solution or molten but fixed when solid and can’t move freely
why are ionic crystals hard but brittle
• a force can move the ions and produce contact between like charges causing them to repel (break)
why do ionic crystals often dissolve in water
ions become surround by the water molecules and pull apart the positive and negative ions in the crystal lattice through electrostatic attraction
