Metallic Bonding, Giant Covalent Bonding/Structure, Stoichiometry

Metallic Bonding -

Metallic Bonding -

Electrostatic attraction between the positive ions in a giant metallic lattice and a ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons. Structure of metal made up of positive ions surrounded by electrons that move freely between ions.

Properties of metals

1. Malleable and ductile - Layers of metal ions can slide over each other
   2. Good conductors of heat and electricity - electrons in ‘sea’ of electrons are free to move

How is diamond structure and silica similar

1. Show similar physical properties
2. Very hard, high melting points
3. Tetra hedral-giant covalent structure

Diamond

1. Hardest natural substance because each carbon atoms attached to 4 other carbon atoms
2. Diamond used in cutting tools
3. Does not conduct electricity because there are no free moving electrons

Silicon (IV) Oxide (SiO2)

1. Each Si atoms covalently bonded to 4 oxygen atoms
2. Each oxygen atom is covalently bonded to 2 silicons atoms
3. Tetra hedral-giant covalent structure

Graphite -

1. High melting point
2. Hexagonal arrangement giant covalent structure
3. Strong covalent bonds between carbon atoms
4. Used as lubricant
5. Carbon bonded 3 other carbon, 1 atom free so conducts electricity because free electrons
6. soft because carbon atoms arranged in flat layers of linked hexagons. Weak forces of attraction between layers so able to slide over each other easily

Why is Graphite soft?

Why metals conduct electricity?

Electrostatic attraction produced by negatively charged electrons move freely between positively charged ions

High melting point and Low melting point

HMP strong electrostatic force of attraction between positive ions and negative ions. LMP weak intermolecular force of attraction between molecules.
