AQA GCSE Combined Science: Bonding, Structure, and Properties
Explores the three main types of chemical bonding: ionic, covalent, and metallic. This deck explains how to represent bonding and links the type of bonding and structure to the physical properties of substances. It covers ionic compounds, simple molecules, giant covalent structures (including diamond, graphite, graphene, and silicon dioxide), fullerenes, metals, and alloys. This deck strictly adheres to the AQA Combined Science Trilogy specification.

Welcome to this deck on chemical bonding. We'll explore how atoms join together to form the substances all around us. You'll learn about the three main types of chemical bond: ionic, covalent, and metallic. Crucially, we'll see how the type of bonding and the structure of a substance determine its physical properties, like its melting point and whether it can conduct electricity.
Lesson#2
Let's start with ionic bonding. This happens when a metal atom reacts with a non-metal atom. The key idea is the transfer of electrons. Metal atoms lose electrons to achieve a stable, full outer shell, while non-metal atoms gain those electrons to complete their own outer shell.
Lesson#3
When an atom loses or gains electrons, it is no longer neutral. It becomes a charged particle called an ion. Because metals lose electrons, which are negatively charged, they form positive ions. Non-metals gain electrons, so they form negative ions.
Quiz#4
What is the name for an atom that has lost or gained electrons?
ion
Quiz#5
In chemistry, what electrical charge does an ion have if it has lost electrons?
positive
Quiz#6
In chemistry, what electrical charge does an ion have if it has gained electrons?
negative
