Atoms, their properties and how they are bonded together

Additional Resources

1) Describe how the ionic bond is due to electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

2) Explain the physical properties of ionic compounds (volatility, electrical conductivity, and
solubility) in terms of their structure.

3) Describe how a covalent bond is formed by the electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and
the positively charged nuclei.

8) Explain electrical conductivity and malleability in metals.

4) Deduce the polar nature of a covalent bond from electronegativity values.

7) Describe how a metallic bond is the electrostatic attraction between a lattice of positive ions and delocalized
electrons.

6) Deduce the types of intermolecular force present in substances, based on their structure and
chemical formula.

5) Use of VSEPR theory to predict the electron domain geometry and the molecular geometry for
species with two, three, and four electron domains.
