ionic bonding deffenition?
the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions formed by electron transfer.
what is the structure of an ionic crystal?
giant lattice of ions
is ionic bonding stronger when ions are larger or smaller?
smaller
are melting points higher when ionic bonding is stronger or weaker?
stronger
is ionic bonding stronger when ions have higher or lower charges?
higher
does ionic radii increase or decrease down a group?
increase
covalent bond deffenition?
shared pair of electrons
when does a dative covalent bond form?
when the shared pair of electrons in the covalent bond come from only one of the bonding atoms.
metallic bonding defenition?
the electrostatic force of attraction between the positive metal ions and the delocalised electrons.
what are the three main factors that affect the strength of metallic bonds?
number of protons / strength of nuclear attraction
number of delocalised electrons per atom
size of ion
if there are more protons is the metallic bond stronger or weaker?
stronger
if there are more delocalised electrons is the metallic bond stronger or weaker?
stronger
if the ion is bigger, is the metallic bond stronger or weaker?
weaker
if the metallic bonding is stronger, is the melting point higher or lower?
higher
