New cards

Why are simple covalent compounds unique?

Have 2 types of bonding -> Intermolecular and intramolecular

2
New cards

What do physical properties depend on?

Depend on intermolecular forces

3
New cards

How are covalently bonded I2 molecules held together?

Held together by weak VDW

4
New cards

How are I2 molecules bonded?

Covalently

5
New cards

How do we know there are 2 types of bonding in I2 for example?

Distance between atoms not covalently bonded is nearly double between those that are

6
New cards

How do VDW break?

When melted

7
New cards

What are VDW?

Weak forces between molecules

8
New cards

What are covalent bonds?

Strong forces within the molecule

9
New cards

Why does iodine vaporise easily on warming?

Weak forces of attraction between molecule -> low temp can break these

10
New cards

Can the simple molecular structure conduct electricity?

No because no free electrons or ions to move and carry charge
