Q

What is the charge of elements in Group 0?

A

nothing

18
Q

What is the ionic structure?

A

arranged in giant lattice
alternating charge of ions

19
Q

Define ionic bonding

A

electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions

20
Q

Why is ionic bonding so strong?

A

giant lattice - lots of very strong bonds

21
Q

Why do ionic compounds have high melting points?

A
  • very strong
  • giant lattice : lots of bonds
  • lots of energy needed to break
22
Q

What also makes some ionic compounds have high melting points?

A

if the ions have higher charges
- attraction is even stronger
- more energy needed

23
Q

Why can’t ionic compounds conduct electricity when solid?

A

ions cannot move freely
in fixed position
cannot carry charge

24
Q

Why can ionic compounds conduct electricity when liquid?

A

ions can move freely
not in fixed position
can carry charge
