1. Chem. warm-up:
What is the difference between an ionic and covalent compounds?
Ionic compounds are made of ions (Cations & Anions) and transfer electrons, whereas covalent compounds are made of two nonmetals and share electrons

2. Properties At room temperature they are a crystalline solid.
Ionic Compounds:
At room temperature they are a crystalline solid.
Hard & Brittle, High melting point
Covalent (Molecular Compounds):
At room temperature they can be a solid, liquid or gas.
Usually soft & low melting point

3. Compound Arrangement Three dimensional pattern
Ionic Compound
Three dimensional pattern
How is the 3D pattern created?
Oppositely charged ions form closely packed layers.
Layers stack together to make a regular repeating 3D pattern called a:
Unit cell
Closely packed layers will keep stacking to form a:
Crystal

4. Compound Arrangement
Molecular Compound
Consist of atoms (nonmetals) which form molecules that are held together by weak forces.
Weak forces
Water molecules

5. Type of Bond Force & Strength
Ionic Compounds:
Electrostatic forces
Very Strong
Covalent (Molecular Compounds):
Intermolecular forces
Weak
The force of attraction between atoms in metals, such as copper and aluminum, or alloys, such as brass and bronze, are metallic bonds.
Dispersion forces, Dipole-dipole, H-bonding
Strength

6. Good conductors of electricity
Ionic Compounds:
Good conductors of electricity
Two ways ionic compounds conduct electricity:
Conduct an electric current in the melted state.
Conduct electricity when the compound is dissolved in water.
Conductors

7. The ion movement produces a flow of electricity
Conductors
Ionic Compounds cont…
How?
Bonds break or dissociate.
The ions separate.
Ions are free to move around.
The ion movement produces a flow of electricity
When a voltage is applied the cations move to one electrode & the anions to the other.

9. Conductors Poor conductors Why? Molecular Compounds:
Bonds do not break easily.
Compound does not easily dissolve in water.
Compound does not contain ions that can conduct electricity.

10. Network Solids +Network Solid
Consist of atoms held together by large chains of covalent bonds.
Each atom is covalently bonded in a large chain or network.
There are NO molecules in a network solid, only atoms bonded together.
Covalent solids, such as diamond, form crystals that can be viewed as a single giant molecule made up of an almost endless number of covalent bonds. Each carbon atom in diamond is covalently bound to four other carbon atoms oriented toward the corners of a tetrahedron, as shown in the figure below. Because all of the bonds in this structure are equally strong, covalent solids are often very hard and they are notoriously difficult to melt. Diamond is the hardest natural substance and it melts at 3550°C
Bonds are very strong.
Example: Diamond
