giant ionic lattice Flashcards
1
Q
whats giant ionic lattice made of
A
positive sodium ions and negative chloride ions
2
Q
whats it held together by
A
very strong ionic bonds
3
Q
whats the properties of giant ionic lattice
A
high mp and bp
only will conduct when molten or dissolved in water
soluble
4
Q
when the ionic lattice are solid what can the ions not do
A
when solid, the ions are held in the lattice
and cannot move.
5
Q
what energy is needed to break the bonds
A
substantial energy
6
Q
why cant ions conduct electricity when solid
A
the ions cant move or carry charge
