Chemistry- structure and bonding

?
Ionic bonding
Between a metal and a non metal. Giving away/ gaining electrons.
1 of 12
Ionic substances
High melting point, metal and non-metal, can conduct electricity when dissolved in water or melted.
2 of 12
Ions in ionic substances are held together by
electrostatic force of attraction (positive and negative) to create a giant lattice.
3 of 12
Convalent bonding
Between two non-metals, sharing electrons.
4 of 12
Convalent substances
Don't conduct electricity, low melting point, two non-metals.
5 of 12
When you melt convalent substances, you break the weak..
...inter molecular forces.
6 of 12
How many convalent bonds do diamond and graphite have?
4 and 3.
7 of 12
Why can graphite conduct electricity?
Delocalised electrons between the layers.
8 of 12
Fullerenes
Made of hexagons and pentagons. They are used as catalysts, lubricants, and drug delivery to the body.
9 of 12
Do fullerenes have high or low melting/boiling points?
High.
10 of 12
Nano science
Very small, used in cosmetics, sunscreen, medicane
11 of 12
Risks of nanoscience
Explosions, end up in the air and blood streme.
