Types of bonds
A Metallic Bond is the force of attraction between a sea of De Localized Electrons and Positive Cations.
 * -|Metallic=

Structure
Orange = Positive cations

Yellow = De Localized Electrons

Properties

 * Lustrous - Shiny
 * Conducts Heat
 * Conducts Electricity
 * Malleable (can be beaten into shape) and Ductile (can be drawn into wires)
 * High Boiling Point
 * High Melting Point

Examples
An Ionic Bond is an elecrostatic force of attraction between Positive Cations and Negative Anions
 * -|Ionic=

Properties

 * High melting and Melting point


 * Hard but Brittle (Not Malleable or Ductile)


 * Doesn't conduct electricity as Solids but does conduct electricity as Liquids (melts in molten or aques solution)


 * Various Solubility in Water

Examples

 * -|Covalent=

Key Words
Brittle= Able to crack

Lattice=

Current= A group of flowing electrons
