-high boiling pt.
-Crystalline solid at room temp.
-Typically soluble
-No smell
-Conductors in liquid/gas
Formula unit
Smallest piece of an ionic compound that is electronically neutral
Molecular compounds
-Smelly
-Low melting/boiling
-Low solubility
-Poor conductor
Metals of antiquity
Seven metals found/used in prehistoric times

Octet rule
Elements combine to have full shell
Sub-octet
Boron forms compounds w/ only 6 electrons
Hypervalent compounds
Main group elements form more bonds (Generally 3rd period)
-contribute to size
Intermolecular forces
-Force of repulsion/attraction
-Weaker than covalent bonds (More make stronger though)
-Collectively known as Van der Waals forces
London dispersion
-All molecules
-Electrostatic attraction b/w protons/electrons of diff. molecules
-Electrons can be attracted to protons of another molecule causing weak attraction
-Strength depends on number/size
