Ionic Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
What is ionic bonding between
A
Metals and non metals
2
Q
How are ionic bonds held together
A
Strong forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions
3
Q
How can you break ionic bonds
A
-Melting into molten
-dissolved in water
4
Q
When the ions are arranged into a lattice?
A
The attractive forces between the oppositely charged ions act in all directions and are very strong
5
Q
What happens when enough energy breaks ionic compounds
A
-Ions break from lattice
-they become free to move
-they move to oppositely charged electrodes as they themselves are charged
-therefore able to carry charge and current
