science help: I need help on my science project about Chemical Bonding. - Help.com

What do you mean with the seven bonding characteristics? Cesium fluoride crystallizes in a rock salt structure, so it is mainly bonded by the attraction of electrostatic forces wheras in PF5 Phosphorous and Fluorine are bonded covalently. This is reflected in the different melting points and boiling points. PF5 molecules are attracted to each other by Van der Waals forces but in CsF the Cs cation would not only attract the fluorine anions in the neighborhood but also those anions that are more far away. The strength of the ionic forces is minimized by the square of the distance, van der waals forces even by r(raised to the power of -6). So at first you have to decide what you like more, say ionic bonding which means you will take CsF

you could make easily a comic out of it>
A guy named Cs is neutral and meets with a guy named Fluorine,
then during a little battle the fluorine grabs the electron of Cs and wants to run away. But having almost left the stage he is suddenly drawn back by the charges attracting each other cause fluorine is now negatively charged. So he will be pulled back to Cs who already waits for him. then they would hug each other and form a nice ionic bond. the last picture could be that you zoom out and you would see many guys named cs+ and f- that form a nice rock salt lattice.

If that s too difficult for you to understand you can also google webelements to check CsF and its structure *just hit the Cs on the periodic table and then choose CsF on the bar appearing on the left side of the sceen.
If you got further questions you can also e-mail me

what kind of science project should i do
