Question | Answer |
What sort of structure do non-metallic elements exist as? | Simple covalent structures, forming a simple molecular lattice held together by weak intermolecular forces Low mpt/bpt |
What do C,Si, and B exist as? | Giant covalent lattices All have 4 valence electrons Forms tetrahedral structure |
What are the properties of Giant Covalent lattices? | High mpt/bpt Insoluble, covalent bonds too strong to be broken by interaction with solvents Non-conductors of electricity |
What structures are the exception in terms of conductivity? | Graphene and Graphite Form planar hexagonal molecules Delocalised spare electron can carry charge |
