12
Q
Ionic bonding
A
Strong electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions
13
Q
Why do giant ionic lattices have high boiling points?
A
- held together by many strong covenant bonds
- a large amount if energy required to break the bonds and cause the substance to melt
14
Q
Why do ionic compounds not conduct electricity when solid?
A
- when solid the ions are in the fixed lattice so can’t move
- when liquid/molton the ions can move
15
Q
How is a covalant bond formed?
A
Is formed between atoms by sharing a pair of electrons
