Bonding

• What is Ionic bonding between?

  metal and nonmetal elements
• What is covalent bonding between?

  Nonmetals
• What is metallic bonding between?

  Metals
• What is an ion?

  A charged particle formed when an atom gains or loses electrons
• What is a molecular ion?

  A charged particle containing more than one atom
• Can ionic bonds conduct electricity in solid state?

  No, because charged particles can't move and carry charge
• Can ionic bonds conduct electricity when molten?

  Yes, ions can move and carry charge
• Do ionic compounds have high melting points?

  Yes, substantial energy is needed to break the bonds
• What state are ionic compounds ate room temperature?

  Solid
• Why are ionic compounds brittle?

  When struck the layers of ions can move and an ion is then beside an ion of similar charge. The similar charge ions repel each other which shatters the crystal lattice structures.
• Are ionic compounds soluble in water?

  Yes
• Can aqueous ionic compounds conduct electricity?

  Yes
• What are molecular covalent bond's weak forces of attraction called?

  Van der waals forces of attraction
• What state are molecular covalent bonds in at room temperature?

  Liquid or gas because little energy is needed to break the weak van der waals
• Can molecular covalent bonds conduct electricity?

  No, because they don't have charged particles to move and carry charge
• Are molecular covalent bonds soluble?

  They are insoluble
• Do metallic bonds have high melting points?

  Yes
• Can metallic bonds conduct electricity?

  Yes
• Why are metallic bonds malleable and ductile?

  Layers can slide over each other without distrupting the bonding
