  • Bonding
    • IONIC BONDING
      • Definition = The loss of electrons to form positive ions
      • Metal + Non Metal
      • Loss of Electron = positive
      • PROPERTIES
        • High M and B points
          • Strong electrostatic attraction
        • Don't conduct when solid
          • Ions aren't free to move and carry charge
        • Conduct when molten or in solution
          • Ions free to move and carry charge
      • Giant Lattice
        • Ionic crystal
          • 3 dimensional
          • Electrostatic attraction
          • Sodium chloride lattic
      • Higher charges = higher b.p
    • COVELANT BONDING
      • Definition = Sharing pairs of electrons to fulfill a full outer shell and become stable
      • Non metal + Non metal
      • PROPERTIES
        • Low M and B points
          • Weak intermolecular forces require little energy to break
        • Do not dissolve in water
          • Don't split ions
        • Don't conduct electricity
          • No free moving ions
      • DIAMOND
        • Tetrahedral
        • Jewelry  - refracts light
        • Hard and strong - strong covelant bonds
      • GRAPHITE
        • Hexagon
        • Strong covelant bonds
        • Layers slide - weak intermolecular forces
        • Carry charge - spare e
        • High M and B points - strong covelant bonds
    • METALLIC
      • Definition = Giant lattice of positive ions, surrounded by a sea of delocalised e
      • PROPERTIES
        • Malleable
          • Layers slide over eachother
        • High M and B points
          • Strong electrostatic attraction
        • Conducts electrcity
          • Free moving e
