Question 4

Which ion would have a positive charge?

Answer 4

Metal

Question 5

Why is the shape of a giant ionic structure regular?

Answer 5

The ions pack neatly together

Question 6

What forces act in all directions and hold ionic structures together?

Answer 6

electrostatic

Question 7

Can ionic structures conduct electricity?

Answer 7

Only when dissolved (when electrons are free to move)
