Metallic Bonding
Metallic bonding→occurs between only metals, occurs between atoms from the same element or between atoms from different elements. Metal+metal
Metallic bonding involves→The atoms losing their valence electrons and becoming metal cations
The valence electrons become→Delocalised and freely move around the 3D lattice of metal cations.
Properties of metals
Lustle(shininess)
Conductivity (heat and electricity)
Malleability ( can be hammered/bent)
Ductile (can be drawn into wire)
High Density (usually)
Ionic compounds
Ionic compounds→(ionic salts) are compounds consisting a positive and negative ion bonded by a strong electrostatic force. Eg. sodium chloride & ammonium sulphate
High melting temperature→Ionic compounds have very high melting points because of the 3D giant ionic lattice structure. Strong electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions in the 3D lattice
Hardness→Ionic compounds are hard because the ions are held tightly in a rigid, fixed structure, making it difficult to compress.
Brittleness→Ionic compounds are brittle because of their 3D giant ionic structure. When force is applied, like charged ions may shift & repel each other, causing the structure to shatter
Electrical conductivity as a solid→Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity as solids because the ions are fixed in place & cannot move freely.
Electrical conductivity as a solution or liquid→Ionic compounds do conduct electricity when dissolved in water or melted, because the ions are free to move and carry electric current.
Ions
An atom will lose or gain electrons to→obtain a full valence shell, as this lowers its energy level.
Ionic bonding→non metal+metal. form when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
An ionic bond is an electrostatic attraction between→
Cations→Atoms that loose electrons become positively charged, Pawsitive, paw
Anion→Atoms that gain electrons that become negatively charged, Onion, sad
Metal atoms will→lose electrons
Non metal atoms will→gain electrons
No protons lost, gained→atomic number remains unchanged
Electrons that are lost by one atom→are gained by another, therefore isolated atoms cannot form ions
The name ending of the non metal element→changes to ide when it forms anion.
A transition metal→forming multiple ions can bond with multiple of the same anion.
Name indication cation range
in Roman numerals in brackets.
Copper(I) chloride CuCl
Copper(II) chloride CuCl₂
Copper (III) chloride CuCl
A polyatomic ion→Also known as molecular ion, is a charged chemical species (ion) composed of 2 or more atoms bonded together
Names & symbols of polyatomic ions→listed in Valence challenge
To have -ide ending→anions change their atoms name
Molecule anions→(with lost of oxygen) have an -ate ending. (Nitrate)
In Anion Cation table→Anion side, x-axis, Cation down- y-axis. Cat so long. Cation comes first. Cats better than onions.
Covalent bonding
Covalent bonding→a shared pair of electrons between atoms of non-metals, non metal+non metal
What forms molecules→Atoms of different elements that share a covalent bond
Atoms of the same element that share covalent bond are called→diatomic molecules
Covalently bonded molecules can be presented as→Valnece structural diagram, Lewis structural, electron dot diagram
The giant covalent bonding is very strong→causes substances to have high mb and bp
Bonded pair→shared pair of electrons that causes them to stay together
Lone pair→pair of electron that’s not involved in bonding
