Study Notes
Covalent Bonds
- A covalent bond is formed when atoms share two electrons, typically between two non-metal atoms.
- Covalent bonds allow molecules to exist.
Molecular Structure
- Ammonia (NH3) has a trigonal pyramidal shape.
Properties of Covalent Compounds
- Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity because they do not have charged particles (ions).
Ions and Isotopes
- Non-metals typically form anions (negatively charged ions).
- Isotopes are different atoms of the same element.
Ionic Compounds
- In ionic compounds, the positive and negative charges must balance to zero to maintain neutrality.
- Ionic compounds can conduct electricity because of the movement of ions.
- A crystalline solid with a regular arrangement of alternating positive and negative ions is known as an ionic crystal.
Allotropes of Carbon
- Diamond is an allotrope of carbon that cannot conduct electricity due to its rigid structure.
- Graphite, another allotrope of carbon, is a good conductor of electricity due to the delocalization of electrons in its planar structure.
Properties of Metals
- Metals are usually malleable and ductile due to the free movement of electrons.
- Metals have high melting points compared to other materials because of the strong bonds between atoms.
Bonding Types
- Ionic bonding differs from metallic bonding in that ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons, whereas metallic bonds involve the delocalization of electrons.
Material Properties
- A material with a lattice structure held together by strong covalent bonds that cannot conduct electricity could be a covalent network solid, such as diamond.
