IGCSE Chemistry - Structure and Bonding Flashcard

Front

What is the structure and bonding type of SF₆?

Back

Simple Covalent

Front

Structure and bonding type of CH₃OH?

Back

Simple Covalent

Front

Melting point characteristic of SO₂?

Back

Low melting point due to weak intermolecular forces requiring a small amount of energy to overcome

Front

Does C₄H₁₀ conduct electricity? Why?

Back

No, because it has no ions or free delocalised electrons

Front

Does a solution of ZnCl₂ conduct electricity? Why?

Back

Yes, because it has free ions

Low melting point due to weak bonds requiring a small amount of energy to overcome

Front

What is the structure and bonding type of C₂H₆?

Back

Simple Covalent

Front

Does solid NaF conduct electricity? Why?

Back

No, because it has ions but they are not free to move in the solid

Front

What is the structure and bonding type of ZnCl₂?

Back

Giant Ionic

Front

What is the melting point characteristic of C?

Back

High melting point due to strong covalent bonds requiring a lot of energy to overcome
