iconic bonding Flashcards
1
Q
ionic bonding
A
the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
2
Q
why non-conductors of electricity in solids but good conductors when dissolved in water
A
solid- fixed in lattice and ions can’t move around freely so doesn’t have a positive charge
water- ions can move around, free of lattice
3
Q

A
metal and non-metal ions
