structure and bonding
facts about metallic bonding
They can slide over each other they have a sea of three delocalised electrons that act like glue to keeping the structure together. They have an electrostatic ball of attraction. they have a melting and boiling point, which is high because they have a strong electrostatic force of attraction and a positively charged ion because they have a delocalised free electron
facts about covalent bonding
Covalent bonding is the only bond between nonmetals they use intermolecular forces of attraction
facts about giant covalent bonds diamond
each carbon atom is bonded to 4 other carbons
They have a high melting boiling point because strong Covalent bonds
Lots of energy is needed
No free electron so no electricity
facts About covalent bonds graphite
Each atom is bonded to 3 other carbons
They have a high melting and boiling point because of the strong covalent bonds
They have a free electron so they can create electricity to carry the charge
facts about giant Covalent structures
Graph is one graphite
Fluorine are large hollow molecules based on hexagonal rings of carbon atoms. They may also contain rings with five or seven carbon atoms.
Drugs can be placed inside for Lorraine and be delivered to specific parts of the body
A carbon nano tube is a fullering, which is a layer of graphing rolled into a cylinder
They conduct electricity because they have a delocalised electron that can carry the charge through the structure
facts about simple covalent bonds
They are substances that consist of small molecules usually gases or liquids that have a relatively low melting and boiling point the bigger the molecule the stronger the macular force of attraction they do not conduct electricity
facts about giant ionic structures
Every ionic compound has a giant structure arranged as a lattice the lettuce is held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions these forces acting all directions of the lattice
