  • ionic bonding properties?
    - elctrostatic force between opposite charged ions
    • high melting and boiling points
    • conduct electricity when molten or dissolved
    • brittle soluble in polar solution - because the opposite charged ions are attracted to water
  • covalent bond?
    two non-metals share a pair of elctrons



    shorter the bond becomes the more energy it takes to break
  • properties of covalent bonds?
    low melting and boiling points
    soft and brittle
    connot conduct electricity
  • what are you breaking in covalent bonds?
    covalent you breaking the intermolecular forces between the molecule
  • what is the meaning of dative covalent?
    Sharing of electron pairs in a covalent bond where both electrons come from one atom (when the actual atom has no electrons to share)
  • single bond - 109.5 degree angle
    double bond - 120 degree angle
  • metallic bond properties?
    meleable and ductile - because the presence of metal ions the layers can slide over each other and allows to shape it


    can conduct electricity in both solid and liquid - this is because due to the delocalised elctrons can carry charge


    high melting and boiling pointas - due to the strong elctrostatic force between metal ions and delocalised electrons - requiring large amount of energy to saparate
  • the difference in the boiling points of the three copounds ?
    • hydrogen bonds are the strongest and have high boiling points
    • permenant dipole-dipole are the second strongest and have high boiling points therefore requires more energy to break the intermolecular forces
    • van der weels are the weakest therefore have low boiling points
  • reactivity series?
    chloride ions form - white percepitate
    bromide ions form - cream percipitate
    iodide ions form _ yellow percipitate
  • what is electronegativity?
    Electronegativity is the measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond.
  • explain the trend ionising energy across perid 2?
    1. as you move across period 2 the number of shells stays the same - this means electrons are added the same shells
    2. so nuclear attraction increase
    3. this means atomic radius across period 2 decreases
    4. the ionisation energy increases across the period
  • what is the atomic radius?
    the distance between the nucleus and the last shell
  • what is the ionisation energy mean?
    The energy required to remove an electron from an atom's outer shell
