distinguish between covalent and ionic combination
Covalent bonds: Bonds held together by electrostatic attraction shared between negatively charged electrons (but both positively charged nuclei)
Properties (+some differences)
Ionic bonds:
•
High melting/boiling point
•
Brittle
•
Conducts when molten
Simple molecular (cov bonds):
•
Low melting/boiling point
•
Brittle
•
Insulators (Don't conduct)
•
Weak intermolecular forces
Giant covalent:
•
Very high melting/boiling point
•
Some can be hard
•
Some can be soft
•
Some can conduct
•
Some can't conduct
