Chemistry

Question 1

Ionic structure is?

Answer 1

Giant lattice of alternating positive and negative ions

Question 2

Why can ions conduct electricity when molten/dissovled?

Answer 2

Because the ions are free to move

Question 3

rememebr the practical

Does an ion compound have a low or high melting point

Answer 3

High melting point

Question 4

souble means able to be dissolved

Is an ionic compound soluble

Answer 4

Yes

Question 5

Does an ionic compound conduct electricity

Answer 5

No

it can only conduct electricty when its a molten/ liquid

Question 6

Can ionic compounds dissolve in water

Answer 6

Yes

Question 7

What would potassuim fluorine be called

Answer 7

Potassuim floride

Question 8

What would calcium and fluorine be called

Answer 8

Calcium floride

Question 9

What would Aluminuim sulfur be called

Answer 9

Aluminium sulfide

Question 10

How would a solid look like or be described

Answer 10

Stuck together in rows/vibrate/can conduct electricity

Question 11

What would a liquid look like or be described

Answer 11

Stuck together not in rows/ vibrate/can conduct electricity

Question 12

Descrbe the structure of an ionic compound

Answer 12

An ionic compound is a giant lattice held together by the electrostatic attractions between oppositely charger positive and negative ions

Question 13

Why do ionic compounds have a high melting point

Answer 13

To melt an ionic compound all the ionic bonds need to be brokers and there is a large amount of energy that would be used to break the bonds lots of heat is needed

Question 14

Explain ionic compounds can conduct electricity when dissolved in water but not when it’s a solid

Answer 14

Because the ions are not free to move in a solid so when it’s liquid the ionic lattice I’d broken down allowing the ions to move freely
