Network solids (covalent crystals)Network solids (covalent crystals)� There are some compounds that do not
have molecules, but instead are long chainsof covalent bonds (E.g. diamond)

� This happens in 3 dimensions, creating acrystal
� Because there are only covalent bonds,
network solids are extraordinarily strong

Metallic crystalsMetallic crystals� Metals normally occur as solids (high
melting points).� Thus, there must be strong bonds between
the atoms of metals causing them to bond� Bonding in metals and alloys is different
from in other compounds: positive nucleiexist in a sea of electrons (this explains whymetals conduct electricity)

Crystal typesCrystal types� There are 6 types of intermolecular forces
� These forces are associated with certaincrystal types. By comparing solids we have
a common frame of reference.
� The crystal types and their basic units are1) Network (covalently bonded atoms)
2) ionic (electrostatic attraction of ions),
3) metallic (positive nuclei in electron sea),
4) Molecular (electrostatic attraction of
dipoles in molecules)
a) Polar (dipole-dipole and H-bonding)
b) Non-polar (London forces)

Properties of crystalsProperties of crystals� Boiling and melting occur when the forces
between molecules are overcome and achange of state occurs
� The higher the force of attraction between
molecules (IMF) the higher the melting/-boiling point (see previous slide for order )
� Only metallic crystals conduct electricity in
solid state (they also conduct in liquid state)
� Ionic crystals will conduct electricity in
molten state or dissolved because ions are
free to move to positive and negative poles

Solubility of crystal typesSolubility of crystal types� Solute = what is dissolving (e.g. salt)
� Solvent = what it is dissolving in (e.g. water )
� Strong attractions between the basic units of
covalent crystals cause them to be insoluble.
� Metallic crystals are likewise insoluble� The solubility of other crystals depends on
solute and solvent characteristics
� We will see that polar/ionic solutes dissolvein polar/ionic solvents and non-polar solutes
dissolve in non-polar solvents
� This is known as the like-dissolves-like rule

Attraction and randomness Attraction and randomness� The reason why some substances mix and
others do not has to do with «1) Intermolecular forces2) the tendency for randomness due to
random molecular motion
� Reference: 499 (starting from ³ A tendencytoward randomness´) to 502 (ending right
before ³How Soaps and Detergents work´)

Mixing oil and water Mixing oil and water � Lets take a look at why oil and water don¶t
mix (oil is non-polar, water is polar )
