bonds - ionic bonding?
The positive and negative charges are held together by the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
giant ionic lattice?
Ionic compounds are made of charged particles called ions which form a giant lattice structure
melting point of ionic substances?
high melting and boiling points due to the presence of strong electrostatic forces acting between oppositely charged ions
are ionic compounds conductive?
- only when in molten state or in solution as they have ions that can move and carry charge
Why can ionic compounds conduct electricity in the solid state?
the ions are in fixed positions within the lattice and are unable to move
