New cards
Ionic bonds: properties
* b/t metal cation and non metal anion; held together by electrostatic forces * Cannot form a molecule/ more than 1 bond bc of ionic bond * Form crystal lattices/ solids at room temperature * High melting and boiling points: strong forces hold atoms together * Very hard and brittle: when structure shifts, similar changes line up * Soluble in water, conduct electricity in it/ solvents by disassociating as ions that move to conduct it

New cards
covalent bonds: properties
* b/t 2 or more non metals * No transfer of electrons, sharing forms a molecule * Can form more than 1 bond * Much lower melting and boiling points than ioic compounds * Softer and squishier than ionic bonds * More flammable than ionic compounds * Dont conduct electricity and not v soluble in water

New cards
top-bottom periodic trend
* atomic radius is increased * increase in energy levels * e- are far away from nucleus * weaker pull; attraction from nucleus on e is less * easier to remove e * ionization energy decreases * larger atomic radius = less attraction for e * lower affinity * lower electronegativity

New cards
left - right
* atomic radius is decreased * inner e cannot shield valence electrons from positive charge of nucleus * nuclear charge increases * ve moves closer to nucleus
