Bonding, structure and properties of substances GapFill

Substances can be in one of three states of matter, which are called solid, liquid and  particlesteamaquagas. Substances are different states at different  voltageschargestemperaturestimes. The states of matter can also be given symbols, which are  (so), (li), (ga) and (aq)(s), (l), (g) and (aq)(so), (li), (pa) and (aq)[s], [l], [m] and [aq].

Ionic compounds have high  conductivitydensitiesconcentrationsmelting points due to strong electrostatic  chargesattractionsproductsreactions between oppositely charged ions.

Small molecules have very weak  intermolecular forcesmolecular bondsmetallic attractionslattices and so they melt and boil at very low temperatures.

Polymers are large molecules with  ioniclayeredliquidcovalent bonds between atoms. Polymers have relatively strong intermolecular forces, so are mostly  solidchargedconductivewhite at room temperature.

Large, regular structures of covalently bonded atoms are called  ionic latticeshuge covalent compoundsgiant covalent structuresgiga-covalent formations. Diamond and  silicawaterammoniaozone are examples.

In metals, atoms arrange into  layerssphereslinescubes which can slide over each other when the metal is bent. Mixtures of metals, called  crystalsbronzealloyssteel, have distorted layers, and so are  hardersofterdullershinier than pure metals.
