puremetals mixes with othermetals with different sizes atoms this distorts the layers and prevents them from sliding this makes alloys harder to bend/shape
describe giant ionic lattice
strongelectrostatic forces that act in all directions between oppositely charged ions
When can ionic bonds conduct electricity?
when molten or aqueous because ions are free to move
does ionic bonds have high or low melting and boiling point?
high because there’s lots of energy needed to overcome electrostatic forces
2 features of ionic bonding?
Electrostatic forces
oppositely charged forces - metals lose electrons to become positive
what is covalent bonding between?
non-metal and non-metal
does covalent bonding have high or low melting/boiling points and why?
low melting points due to the weakintermolecular forces

what are the properties of simple covalent structures?
Low melting/boiling points, dont conduct electricity because they don’t have any delocalisedelectrons, formed by sharing electrons.
