Ionic bonding

Question 1

What is a ionic bond

Answer 1

Takes place when metals and non-metals react by transferring electrons

The atoms involved are oppositely charged particles (known as ions) in which electron transfer occurs

The opposite charges attract through electrostatic forces

Question 2

LEARN DOT AND CROSS

Answer 2

YEP

Question 3

What is empirical formula

Answer 3

Simplest formula of how many atoms to atoms

Question 4

What is ionic compound

Answer 4

An ionic compound is a giant structure of ions. Ionic compounds are
held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction between
oppositely charged ions. These forces act in all directions in the
lattice and this is called ionic bonding.

Question 5

Ionic compounds have regular structures (giant ionic lattices) in
which there are

Answer 5

strong electrostatic forces of attraction in all
directions between oppositely charged ions.

Question 6

Properties of giant ionic lattices

Answer 6

These compounds have high melting points and high boiling points
because of the large amounts of energy needed to break the many
strong bonds.

When melted or dissolved in water, ionic compounds conduct
electricity because the ions are free to move and so charge can
flow
