Study Notes
Ionic Compounds
- Ionic compounds are composed of positive and negative ions held together by electrostatic forces of attraction
- These forces are strong, resulting in high melting and boiling points
- Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid state but do in the liquid or dissolved states
Metallic Structure
- Metals have a giant structure of atoms arranged in a regular lattice
- Metal atoms lose their outer electrons, creating a "sea" of delocalised electrons
- The delocalised electrons are free to move throughout the structure, explaining their good electrical and thermal conductivity
Covalent Bonding
- Covalent bonds form between non-metal atoms.
- A covalent bond involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms
- This sharing allows each atom to achieve a stable electron configuration
Diamond
- Diamond has a giant covalent structure
- Each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement
- This strong bonding leads to extremely high melting and boiling points; also not electrical conductivity
Graphite
- Graphite has a giant covalent structure where each carbon atom forms covalent bonds with three other carbon atoms
- This structure creates layers of carbon atoms that are held together by weak forces of attraction
- The delocalised electrons in the layers allow graphite to conduct electricity
- The layers can slide over each other, making graphite a good lubricant
Bucky Balls (Fullerenes)
- Fullerene molecules are hollow cages made of carbon atoms, connected by covalent bonds
- They have a unique cage-like structure
- Weak intermolecular forces result in low melting and boiling points
- They conduct electricity poorly
- Buckyballs are also known as fullerenes
Allotropes of Carbon
- Allotropes are different structural forms of the same element
- Carbon has several allotropes, including diamond, graphite, and fullerenes
- The different structures lead to different properties and applications
- Allotropes of carbon show the variety of structures and properties that are possible from a single element.
