Annealing = heat and cool
slowly (larger crystals)
Quenching = heated and cooled
quickly (tiny crystals)
Tempering = low heating and slow
cooling (intermediate crystals)
Delocalised elctrons are located in
spoecific places therfore they are
unable to jump crystals during any
manipulation
Ionic bonding = transfer of elctrons
resulting in cations and anions
electrostatically attracted forming ionic
bonds
Common
properties
Brittleness
Hardness
High melting point
Difference in electrical
conductivity in solid vs liquid shape
Formation of
crystals
Cooling rate
Concentration of solution
Hydrated ionic compounds = water
molecules trapped within the ionic lattice
Covalent bonding = bonding where
both atoms share electrons to
complete their outershells
Molecular representation
VSEPR to determine the shape of
molecules
Valence shell electron pair
repulsion (VSEPR) = Outer
shell electron pairs
mutually repel due to their
negative charge and adopt
possitiions as fair from each
other as possible
Lone pairs repel slightly more
than bonding pairs
Double/triple bonds
are treated as a
single bond in this
model as they must
stay in the same
location they don't
repel
Electronegetivitiy and
polatity
Polar bond = uneven distribution of
charge resulting in one atom being
more negative than the other
Intramolecular forces = forces that
exist between different molecules
Intermolecular forces = weak , the strength
of the two forms of attraction determines
different properties of covalent compounds
Dispersion force = result of attraction between
temporary dipoles. These can be random
fluctuations in the distribution of electrons
Dipole-Dipole force = occur due to
permanent dipole
Increased polarity the stronger
the dipole-dipole forces
Result of the electrostatic attraction
between the polar ends of polar molecfules
Hydrogen bonding= stronger dipole-dipole forces
developed when a FON bonds with hydrogen
