Q

What 2 main processes does solubility require?

A
  1. Ionic lattice must be broken down
  2. Water molecules must attract and surround the ions

Q

What is the electrical conductivity like in an ionic compound?

A

In the solid state ions are in a fixed position so there are no mobile charge carriers, in a liquid state the lattice breaks down so there are free mobile charge carriers

17
Q

What is covalent bonding?

A

Strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons

18
Q

What is 2 examples of a double covalent bond?

A

CO2 and O2

19
Q

What is are 2 examples of a triple covalent bond?

A

N2 and HCN

20
Q

What is a dative covalent bond?

A

The shared pair of electrons has been supplied by one of the bonding atoms only

21
Q

What are 2 anomalous properties of water which results from hydrogen bonding?

A
  • Ice is less dense than water and is pulled apart into an open lattice held together by hydrogen bonds
  • H2O has a relatively high melting point
