Ionic Bonding and Metallic Bonding

Ionic bonding occurs between metal and non-metal elements, forming compounds like sodium chloride. These compounds create a lattice structure of alternating metal and non-metal ions held together by electrostatic forces.

Definition: An ionic bond is the electrostatic force of attraction between a positively charged metal ion and a negatively charged non-metal ion.

Ionic compounds lattice structure is characterized by its ability to dissolve easily in water. When dissolved, the lattice breaks apart, and water molecules surround the separated ions.

Metallic bonding, on the other hand, occurs in pure metals and alloys. In metallic structures, the outer shell electrons of metal atoms are free to move throughout the structure.

Definition: A metallic bond is the force of attraction between free-moving ordelocalizedor delocalized electrons and positive metal ions in a metal structure.

Properties of metallic bonds include:

  1. Strong bonds leading to stable structures
  2. High melting and boiling points
  3. Excellent conductivity of electricity and heat due to the movement of delocalized electrons

Highlight: The delocalized electrons in metallic bonds allow metals to conduct electricity and heat efficiently, a property not shared by ionic or covalent network structures.

Comparison of Bonding Types and Their Properties

Understanding the different types of chemical bonding is crucial for predicting and explaining the properties of various materials. Here's a comparison of covalent network, ionic lattice, and metallic lattice structures:

  1. Covalent Network: High melting points Does not conduct electricity Very hard and difficult to break
  2. Ionic Lattice: High melting points Conducts electricity when liquid or dissolved Brittle and can shatter
  3. Metallic Lattice: Wide range of melting points dependingonthemetaldepending on the metal Conducts electricity in solid state Malleable and ductile

Vocabulary: Malleable refers to the ability of a material to be hammered or pressed into shape without breaking, while ductile means the material can be drawn into a wire without breaking.

These different bonding types and structures explain why materials like diamond covalentnetworkcovalent network, table salt ioniclatticeionic lattice, and copper metalliclatticemetallic lattice have such diverse properties and applications in the real world.

Covalent Bonding and Atomic Stability

Atoms form bonds to achieve stable electron arrangements. Covalent bonding occurs between non-metal elements when atoms share electrons. This sharing creates a strong bond between the atoms, held together by the attraction between the positive nuclei and the shared electrons.

Definition: A covalent bond is a bond between two non-metal elements where electrons are shared between atoms to reach a stable electron arrangement.

Covalent substances typically exist as gases or liquids at room temperature due to weak intermolecular forces. However, some covalent substances form solid structures with high melting points when they create larger molecules or covalent networks.

Example: Boron, carbon, and silicon are examples of elements that form covalent network structures, consisting of giant 3D lattices of covalently bonded atoms.

Highlight: Covalent network structures have high melting points and are solid at room temperature due to the extensive network of strong covalent bonds.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

very reliable app to help and grow your ideas of Maths, English and other related topics in your works. please use this app if your struggling in areas, this app is key for that. wish I'd of done a review before. and it's also free so don't worry about that.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.

This apps acc the goat. I find revision so boring but this app makes it so easy to organize it all and then you can ask the freeeee ai to test yourself so good and you can easily upload your own stuff. highly recommend as someone taking mocks now
