  • How are covalent bonds formed?

    When two atoms share electrons so that both have a full outer shell
  • What are simple molecular substances?

    A basic covalent bond
  • What are giant covalent structures?

    All atoms are covalently bonded in a massive network
  • Describe the bonding in silicon dioxide

    Each silicon atom is bonded to four oxygen atoms, each oxygen atom is bonded to two silicon atoms
  • Describe the bonding in graphite

    Each carbon atom is bonded to three other carbon atoms. Forms layers. Layers slide over each other. Layers are not bonded
  • What properties do simple molecular substances have and why?

    Low melting and boiling points due to weak intermolecular forces, do not conduct electricity due to not having a charge
  • Why do ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points?

    Strong electromagnetic attractio
  • Explain conductivity in ionic compounds in their different states

    Solids - Particles vibrate in fixed positions so can't move to conduct electricity
    Liquids - Particles can move so can conduct electricity
    Aqueous - Particles move so can conduct electricity
  • Why do giant covalent structures have high melting and boiling points?

    No intermolecular forces, only very strong covalent bonds
  • Why are metals malleable?

    The layers of metal atoms can slide over each other while maintaining their metallic bonding
