Q

How are Covalent Bonds held together?

A

Covalent Bonds are held together by the electrostatic force of attraction between the positive nuclei and negative electrons.

Q

Can Ionic Lattices conduct electricity?

A

Yes, but only when molten or in solution. this is because the structure breaks up and the ions are free to move.

Q

What is a Covalent Molecular structure?

A

Covalent Molecular Structures have strong covalent bonds within the molecules but only weak forces of attraction between molecules.

17
Q

What type of Melting and Boiling does a Covalent Molecular Structure have?

A

Low melting and boiling points.

18
Q

Can Covalent Molecular Structures conduct electricity?

A

They do not conduct electricity except water. This is because water sometimes dissociates in to hydrogen and hydroxide ions.

19
Q

What is a Solute and what is a solvent?

A

Solute is what you put Solvent is where it went.
