Physical Properties of Ionic Physical Properties of Covalent Metallic structures


Compounds Compounds (Simple Molecular Physical Properties of Metals
Substances)
• have high melting &  have low melting and  Malleable and
boiling point( strong boiling point (weak ductile(malleable
electrostatic force of intermolecular forces means they can be bent
attraction between between molecules and ductile means they
opposite charges large small amount of energy can be stretched)
amount of energy is is needed to overcome)  Layers of atoms slide
required to break these  most are liquid and over each other when
forces) gases at room force is applied.
• most ionic compounds temperature  High melting and boiling
are soluble in water  bad conductor of point ( strong
• are bad conductor of electricity(do not electrostatic attraction
electricity in solid contains ions) between positive ions
state(ions cannot move  Insoluble in water, and negatively charged
so the current can’t mostly soluble in electrons need a lot of
flow) organic solvent energy to break bonds)
• good conductor of  Solid (except mercury)
electricity in molten or  Conduct electricity in
aqueous state (mobile solid and molten
ions/ions can move so ( due to free or mobile
the current flow) electrons)
 Insoluble in all solvents
