Question 1

What causes greater electrostatic forces of attraction in ionic compounds

Answer 1

-higher charge
- smaller ions - they can get closer together , electrostatic forces of attraction is greater

Question 2

What causes greater electrostatic forces of attraction in ionic compounds

Answer 2

-higher charge
- smaller ions - they can get closer together , electrostatic forces of attraction is greater

Question 3

Electric conductivity solid + aqueous (ionic compounds)

Answer 3

Solid- cannot conduct, ions are held in fixed positions by the lattice
Aq- can conduct , has mobile ions

Question 4

Ionic lattice

Answer 4

Repeating pattern of oppositely charged ions

Question 5

Orbital

Answer 5

A region around the nucleus that can hold up to two electrons with opposite spins

Question 6

Oxdising agent

Answer 6

Accepts electrons from other species
