Higher Chemistry - Bonding
- Intermolecular
- Van der Waals
- When a temporary dipole is created in the atom by electrons becoming localised
- The bigger the atom, the stronger the force
- Only have an effect when there is nothing else between molecules
- Polar-polar Attractions
- When two permanent dipoles in two polar covalent molecules are attracted to each other
- The more polar the bond, the stronger the attraction
- Hydrogen Bonds
- A very strong polar-polar attraction involving Fluorine, Oxygen or Nitrogen
- Atoms on either side of the Hydrogen must be Oxygen, Fluorine or Nitrogen
- Intramolecular
- Polar Covalent
- When two atoms with different electronegativity values share a pair of electrons
- The bigger the difference in electronegativity, the more polar the bond
- Pure Covalent
- When two atoms with the same elctronegativity value share a pair of electrons
- Neither atom has a pull on the electrons
- Metallic
- When metal atoms "lose" some outer electrons to form a positive core amid a sea of delocalised electrons
- Ionic
- When atoms form ions by either losing or gaining electrons
- Held together by electrostatic attraction
- The strength depends on the difference in the size of the ions
- Structures In Elements
- All non metal structures are pure covalent
- Diatomic Molecules
- Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Iodine, Chlorine, Bromine and Fluorine all form diatomic molecules
- Monatomic Atoms
- Noble Gases
- Discrete Covalent
- Sulphur - S8
- Phosphorus - P4
- Fullerenes
- Covalent Networks
- Diamond
- Graphite
- Silicon
- Boron
- Structures In Compounds
- Ionic Lattice
- Covalent Networks - Silicon Dioxide and Silicon Carbide
