Quick questions on Bonding and intermolecular forces - TCE Chemistry (Tasmania)
2short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is types of bonding?Show answer
Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a lattice, giving high melting points, brittleness, and conductivity only when molten or dissolved.
What are intermolecular forces?Show answer
For molecular substances, the forces between molecules, not the covalent bonds within them, are broken on melting and boiling.
