what is covalent bonding?
when atoms of non-metallic elements join together
4 of 36
how can you tell that the compound H2O has covalent bonds?
hydrogen and oxygen are both non-metallic elements
5 of 36
what is an ionic compound?
when metallic and non-metallic elements join together
6 of 36

7 of 36
how do atoms form negative ions?
they gain electrons
8 of 36
what attracts in the ionic compound to make ionic bonding?
oppositely charged ions

7
11 of 36
how do ionic bonds hold oppositely charged ions?
together in giant structures
12 of 36
is a giant structure in an ionic compound regular? why?
yes, all the ions pack together like marbles in a box
13 of 36
what acts in all directions in an ionic bond?
electrostatic forces of attraction
14 of 36
what does the ratio of ions in a structure of an ionic compound depend on?
the charges on the ions
15 of 36
what does a dot and cross diagram represent?
atoms and ions involved in forming ionic bonds
16 of 36
what do you show in a dot and cross diagram?
the electrons in the outer most shell of each atom or ion
17 of 36
what are ionic compounds?
neutral, giant structures
18 of 36
what can we work out from knowing the charge on each ion in a compound? how?
its formula by balancing the charges
19 of 36
how do we work out the charge on simple ions formed by elements in the main groups of the periodic table?
from the number of the group.
20 of 36
give examples of ions made up of more than one element
carbonate ions (CO3[2-]) or hydroxide ions (OH-)
21 of 36
what is the formula of an ionic compound?
the simplest ratio of the ions in the compound and does not represent a molecule
22 of 36
write the formula for each of these compounds
calcium flouride, sodium sulphate, magnesium nitrate, copper (ii) chloride, iron (iii) hydroxide
23 of 36
what is a covalent bond made up of?
non-metals
24 of 36
what do the atoms of covalent bonds need to gain to achieve stable electronic structures?
electrons
25 of 36
how do the atoms of covalent bonds gain electrons?
by sharing electrons with other atoms
26 of 36
what are molecules?
substances that have atoms held together by covalent bonding
27 of 36
how do atoms in group 7 form a single covalent bond?
by gaining one electrons
28 of 36
how do atoms in group 6 form two covalent bonds?
by gaining two electrons
29 of 36
what do many covalently bonded substances consist of?
small molecules
30 of 36
what does a covalent bond act between?
only the two atoms it bonds to eachother
31 of 36
how big are the atoms in a metallic element?
all the same size
32 of 36
what do metallic elements form when they bond?
giant structures in which layers of atoms are arranged in regular patterns
33 of 36
what happens to the outer electrons when metal atoms pack together?
they delocalise and can move freely between atoms
34 of 36
what do delocalised electrons produce?
a lattice of positive ions in a 'sea' of moving electrons
35 of 36
what do delocalised electrons strongly attract?
the positive ions and hold together the giant structure
