  • Types of bonding
    • Covalent
      • It is a pair of electrons shared between two atoms
      • Giant molecular substances
        • All atoms are joined by strong covalent bonds
        • High melting and boiling points
        • Usually insoluble in water.
        • Examples - Diamond, Graphite
          • Graphite has delocalized electrons, these carry current.
        • Don't conduct electricity except graphite
      • Simple Molecular substances
        • There are covalent bonds that make molecules.
          • But between the molecules are weak intermolecular forces.
        • -low melting and boiling points.
        • don't conduct electricity, due to lack of ions.
        • examples - carbon dioxide, hydrogen
      • between non-metals
    • Ionic
      • Cation - positively charged
      • Anion - negatively charged
      • The transfer of electrons between atoms to fill an outer shell
      • They conduct electricity when in molten or are aqueous.
        • This allows ions to move and carry current.
      • They have high melting and boiling points.
        • They are arranged in a lattice stucture
          • Due to strong electrostatic forces, a lot of energy is needed to break them
      • Between Metal and non-metal
    • Metallic
      • between metals
      • It is the attraction between cations and electrons.
      • It can carry electric current due to delocalised electrons.
      • high boiling and melting points
      • don't usually dissolve in water
