17
Q

Describe the electrical conductivity of an ionic compound.

A

They conduct electricity when molten or dissolved. Not as a solid. This is because ions are free to move as a liquid and carry a charge. As a solid they are in a fixed position by the strong ionic bonds.

18
Q

Describe the melting point of an ionic compound.

A

High melting point as the giant ionic lattices are held by strong electrostatic forces. It requires a lot of energy to overcome these forces and break the bonds.

19
Q

Describe the solubility of an ionic compound.

A

Tend to dissolve in water as water is polar (contains both small -ve charges and small +ve charges). Water molecules piull the ions away from the lattice and cause it to dissolve.

20
Q

Describe how LiF can be formed?

A

Lithium atom loses one e- to form a lithium ion (Li+). Fluorine gains one e- to form fluoride ion (F-). Electrostatic attraction holds the ions together forming ionic bond.

21
Q

Does magnesium sulphate have a high or low melting point and why?

A

Magnesium sulphate is an ionic compound so will have a giant ionic lattice structure where ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces. These bonds require a lot of energy to break so magnesium sulphate will have a high melting point.

22
Q

What is a covalent bond?

A

Electrons are shared between two outer shells to achieve a full outer shell

23
Q

What diagram represents covalent bonds?

A

Dot and cross diagrams

24
Q

How many electrons do multiple covalent bonds contain?

A

Multiple electron pairs
