Compound
Atom of two or more elements are chemically bonded together
What is an isotope
Atoms of the same element but with a different number of neutrons so different mass number
Give two examples of isotopes
- C. C. Cl. Cl.
- 17.
What is ionic bonding
When atoms lose or gain electrons to form charged particles called ions - strongly attracted to each other due to forces of opposite attraction
What does the group number show
How many electrons in outer shell
Are ionic compounds electrical conductors
No only when melted or dissolved in water as ions separate and are free to move causing an electrical current
Describe structure of ionic compounds
- Giant ionic lattice
- Closely packed and regular
- Strong electrostatic forces of attraction - oppositely charged ions
Properties of ionic compounds
High bpt as strong forces
Only conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water
What forms an ionic compound
NON METAL + METAL
