Metallic Lattice Structures Metals form?giant metallic lattices?in which the metal ions are surrounded by a ‘sea’ of?delocalised?electrons The metal ions are often packed in?hexagonal layers...
Covalent Lattice Structures Covalent lattices Covalent bonds?are bonds between nonmetals in which electrons are?shared?between the atoms Covalent compounds can be arranged in?simple molecula...
Ionic Lattice Structures Most ionic, metallic and covalent solids are?crystalline lattices The ions, atoms or molecules are arranged in a?regular and repeating arrangement Giant ionic lattic...
Metallic Bonding: Definition Metal?atoms are tightly packed together in?lattice?structures When the metal atoms are in lattice structures, the electrons in their outer shells are free to mov...
Representing Dot & Cross Diagrams Dot and cross diagrams?are diagrams that show the arrangement of the outer-shell electrons in an?ionic?or?covalent?compound or element The electrons are...
Dative Covalent Bonding In?simple?covalent?bonds, the two atoms involved share electrons Some molecules have a?lone?pair of electrons that can be donated to form a bond with an?electron-defi...
Covalent Bonding Covalent?bonding occurs between two?non-metals A covalent bond involves the?electrostatic?attraction?between nuclei of two atoms and the bonding electrons of their outer shells No?...
Ionic Bonding As a general rule,?metals?are on the?left?of the periodic table and?nonmetals?are on the?right-hand?side Ionic?bonding?involves the?transfer?of electrons from a?metallic?elemen...
The Ideal Gas Equation Kinetic theory of gases The kinetic theory of gases?states that molecules in gases are constantly moving The theory makes the following assumptions: That gas molecules...
