I/GCSE Chemistry - Bonding

Ionic, Covalent and Metallic Bond

· igcse chemistry,Chemistry,IGCSE,bonding,ionic bond

Let's study 3 types of bonding in the I/GCSE chemistry curriculum!

Ionic

  • An ionic bond is the electrostatic force of attraction that occurs between two ions.
  • It’s strength depends on the charges on ions
  • High melting and boiling points
  • Soluble in water
  • Conduct electricity when in solution or molten
  • Between a metal and non-metal

Covalent

  • A covalent bond is a shared pair of electrons between the nuclei of two atoms.
  • Strength depends on how many shared pairs of electrons
  • Have strong bonds between atoms but have weak intermolecular forces.
  • Often found as diatomic molecules
  • Insoluble in water
  • Do not conduct electricity
  • Between two non-metals according to the I/GCSE chemistry curriculum

Metallic

  • The electrostatic force of attraction between the lattice of ions and delocalised sea of electrons

  • Regular arrangement (lattice) of ions

  • Surrounded by a delocalised sea of electrons

  • Conduct electricity and heat because of mobile electrons

  • Malleable because layers of ions can slide over each other

  • Between 2 or more metals
  • Strength depends on the metal ion and the amount of electrons in the delocalised sea.
