2.7 properties of ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding

-commonly referred to as "salts"
- solid at room temp
- contain a "crystal lattice" structure as seen in the picture to the left
- stronger than covalent bonds

​

Properties of substances that contain ionic bonds

• do not conduct as solids

• when dissolves in water ionic compounds dissociate into ions

• the presence of the ions allows for the solution to conduct a current

• solutions are "electrolytic"

• ionic solutes are electrolytes

​

Ionic Bonding
Properties

• exist as solids, liquids and gases at room temp.

• come in discrete molecules

• do not conduct electricity as solids (immobile electrons

​

​covalent compound properties

• when dissolved they do NOT dissociate into ions

• when dissolved they do NOT conduct a current

​

​Properties of Covalent bonding

• Metals are solids at room temperature (except Mercury = liquid at room temp)

• Metallic bonds consist of a "sea of electrons"

​

​ Properties of Metallic Bonding

• conduct current in solid state

• solid conducts current due to free roaming electrons

• do not dissolve in water
