Compounds made of elements with very different values of electronegativity are more ionic than compounds made of elemts clost to each other in electronegativityy = 1 - exp(-0.25 * x2) (Pauling, 1948)Metallic BondMany electrons owe no allegiance to any particular nucleus and are free to “drift”Good conductorsUsually low hardness and melting pointsExamples include native metals such as Cu, Ag, and AuMinerals may have qualities of several types of bonds: galena ionic and metallicVan der WaalsDipoles of moleculesUsually found in gases and liquids, rare in mineralsExample is graphite CPolar Bonding or Hydrogen BondingExamples include micasCoordination Number C.N.# of anions that can fit around a cationNaCl 6CaF28Radius RatioThis is the ratio of the radius of the cation to that of the anionThis ratio usually determines the CN of the cationCoordination Number vs Radius RatioCN RR CN RR CN RR CN RR CN RR CN2 3 4 6 8 12.155 .225 .414 .732 1Make sure you remember to give examples on the boardLet’s calculate one of the radius ratiosUse triangular coordinationHandout or on board!Some words you need to knowCN=4 tetrahedralCN=6 octahedralCN=8 cubicPauling’s
