Chemical Equations Flashcards
1
Q
Explain why molecular substances cannot conduct electricity?
A
Molecular substances are uncharged and do not have delocalised electrons. This makes it difficult for them to conduct electricity.
2
Q
Which elements are likely to form positively charged ions?
A
Metals
3
Q
Which elements are likely to form negatively charged ions?
A
Non metals
4
Q
How are ionic bonds created?
A
A non metal and a metal will form an ionic bond.
