Q

Explain the high melting and boiling point of Ionic Compounds.

A

Q

Explain the hard but brittle property of Ionic Compounds.

A

Forces between ions are strong, hence it is very hard to break these forces. However, when these forces are broken and the lattice structure shifts and repulsions occur between like charges, structure is shattered.

Has the strongest form of intramolecular forces due to the network lattice in which atoms are arranged.

A
  • Layers held together by weak dispersion forces so they can readily slide past one another.
