Question 16

What is ionic bonding

Answer 16

A strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions

Question 17

Why do compounds with giant ionic lattices have high melting and boiling points?

Answer 17

• they have a giant structure with strong electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions
• require a lot of energy to break

Question 18

Do ionic compounds conduct electricity?

Answer 18

When solid do not conduct electricity
When molten or in solution they do conduct electricity
