how many types of carbide according to the type of bonding ??
Answers
★ Carbides are of three types according to the type of bonding :-
(1) salt like (ionic carbide)
(2)covalent carbide (giant molecular carbide)
(3) interstitial carbides (metallic carbide)
_________________________________________
Carbides are compounds
composed of carbon and less
electronegative elements and they
are distinguished by their chemical
bonding (ionic, covalent). They are
generally prepared from metals or
metal oxides at high temperatures
(1500 °C or higher) by combining
the metal with carbon. Carbides
are used in key industrial
applications.
Key Point!
Carbides are generally formed at
high temperatures (> 1500 °C).
Carbides are generally quite stable
and exhibit high melting points.
Carbides can be classified as
salt-like, interstitial, and covalent.
There's types are Saline Carbides, Covalent Carbides, Interstitial Carbides, and Intermediate Transition Metal Carbides.
