- Structure of Substances
- IONIC
- High melting and boiling point.
- Only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved
- Non-metal + Metal
- Strong bonds
- COVALENT
- Strong bonds
- Strong bonds but weak intermolecular forces
- Simple Molecular
- Strong bonds but weak intermolecular forces
- Will NOT conduct electricity
- Exception is graphite since layers of ions can slide
- GIANT
- Lots of Strong bonds
- High melting point
- Example - Diamond, sand or Graphite
- Strong bonds
- METALLIC
- Strong bonds
- Sea of delocalised electrons
- Will ALWAYS conduct electricity
- Delocalised electrons in lattice structure
- IONIC
