Question 6

Ionic compounds __ ___ conduct electricity when solid as the ions are ___ ____ __ ____.

Answer 6

Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity when solid as the ions are not free to move.

Question 7

why does ionic bonding occur

Answer 7

so that elements can either loose or gin and electron to become stable like the noble gases
