  • Structure and Bonding
    • States of Matter
      • Solid
        • Regular particle arrangement
        • Very close together particles
        • Particles vibrate about fixed positions
      • Liquid
        • Random particle arrangement
        • Close together particles
        • Particles flow around each other
      • Gas
        • Random particle arrangement
        • Particles are much further apart
        • Particles move very quickly in all directions
    • Chemical Bonds
      • There are 3 types of strong covalent bonds
        • Ionic Bonds
          • Occurs between positive and negative ions
          • Involves a transfer of electrons
          • The ionic bond is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between the positive metal ion and the negative non-metal ion
          • Between metals and non-metals
          • Ionic Compounds
        • Covalent Bonds
          • Between non-metals
          • Sharing of electrons
          • Very strong covalent bonds
          • Low melting/boiling point
            • Weak intermolecular forces
              • Doesn't take much energy to break them
          • Can't conduct electricity
            • Electrons aren't free to move
              • So they can't carry a charge
        • Metallic Bonds
          • Between metals or alloys
          • The attraction between the positive metal ions and the delocalised negatively charged electrons
          • Giant structure
          • A lattice of positive ions held together by electrostatic attraction to the delocalised electrons
            • Lattice - regular arrangement
              • Layers are able to slide over each other easily
                • Can be bent and shaped

                        • Often malleable
                • Delocalised electrons can move around freely and transfer energy
            • Metals
              • Metallic Bonds
                • Between metals or alloys
                • The attraction between the positive metal ions and the delocalised negatively charged electrons
                • Giant structure
                • A lattice of positive ions held together by electrostatic attraction to the delocalised electrons
                  • Lattice - regular arrangement
                    • Layers are able to slide over each other easily
                  • Delocalised electrons can move around freely and transfer energy
                  • Alloys
                    • Mixtures containing metal and at least one other element
                    • Stronger and harder than pure metals
                      • The added element disturbs the regular arrangement of particles so the layers don't slide over each other as easily
                    • Steel
