- Covalent and Ionic bonding
- Covalent bonds are bonds formed between non-metals.
- Covalent bonds have strong bonds within a molecule and weak bonds between them.
- covalent bonds have a low melting and boiling point.
- covalent bonds are bonds that hold non metal atoms together to form a molecule.
- molecules are two or more atoms held together by covalent (or ionic) bonds.
- covalent bonds occur when an atom shares its single electron on an outer energy level with another atoms single electron on its outer energy level. forming a molecule.
- molecules are not found on the periodic table and must be formed ionically or covalently.
- when water boils the molecules that were held close together move further apart. the weak bonds between molecules are broken.
- some substance are made from ions. ions have a negative charge.
- ionic substances can dissolve in water.
- ionic substances can conduct energy but only when they are melted or dissolved in water. this is because the ions are free to move.
- ionic bonds need an electron donor and receiver. this is because one atom sends an electron to another so both atoms have full outer energy levels
- Ionic bonding is between a metal and a non-metal.
- in ionic bonding the metal loses an electron to become positively charged and the non-metal accepts that electron to become negatively charged.
