SC5-ionic bonding/ SC6 covalent bonding/SC7 types of substance

?
How are ions formed?
The transfer of atoms, to make a atom more stable
1 of 12
What is an ionic bond
When electrostatic forces attract positively charged and negatively charged objects
2 of 12
What is an ionic lattice
Billions of ions packed together in a regular repeating arrangement called a lattice structure
3 of 12
What do the endings -ide and -ate tell you about a substance
The name of the ion usually ends in either -ite or -ate. The -ite ending indicates a low oxidation state.
4 of 12
What particles and forces are present in ionic compounds
ions, electrostatic force
5 of 12
Why do ionic compounds have a high melting points and boiling points
The electrostatic force between charged ions are very strong
6 of 12
Why do ionic compounds conduct electricity when they are liquid but now when they are solid
in liquid ions are not free to move from place to place
7 of 12
How are covalent bonds formed
sharing electrons
8 of 12
Why do simple molecular compounds have low boiling and melting points
the inter molecular forces needed to overcome are very weak and doesn't take much energy to overcome the weak inter molecular forces
9 of 12
Why are simple molecular compounds poor electrical conductors
The electrons cannot not flow and so cannot carry a current
10 of 12
What is a polymer
a polymer is a long chain of monomers
11 of 12
How are simple molecular structures different from giant covalent structure
Simple molecular substances consist of molecules in which the atoms are joined by strong covalent bonds. ... Giant covalent structures contain many atoms joined together by covalent bonds to form a giant lattice.
