bonding

• what is the structure of ionic compounds?

  giant ionic lattice
• what state are most ionic compounds at room temp?

  solid
• what are the forces of attraction in ionic compounds?

  electrostatic
• Melting (and boiling) points are high for lattices that contain ions with a greater ionic charge
• do ionic compounds dissolve?

  yes in polar solvents
• what is the most known polar solvent?

  water
• what elements form hydrogen bonds with H?

  O N F
• hydrogen bonding is a type of what bond?

  permanent dipole-dipole bond
• what is the strongest type of intermolecular force?

  hydrogen bonds
• the movement of electrons within molecules means that nonpolar molecules can have temporary dipoles
• induced dipole-dipole forces are also known as london forces
• what intermolecular force do ALL molecules and single atoms experience?

  london forces
• as the number of electrons increase across atoms, so does the strength of london forces. this is because it becomes more unlikely that all the electrons are evenly spread and so the charge difference is likely to be way higher with more electrons
