iONIC BONDING

Question 1

Ionic ?

Answer 1

When a metal atom and a non metal atom combine to form an ionic lattice.

Question 1

Salts that contain one or more of the ions that are soluble

Answer 1

S - SODIUM (NA+)
N- NITRATE(NO3)-
A - AMMONIUM (NH+4)
P-POTASSIUM(K+)
E-ETHANOATE (ch3cooh)-

Question 2

IONIC COMPOIUND PROPERTIES

BRITTLENESS

Answer 2

Ionic compounds tend to be brittle because the strong electrostatic forces holding the ions together can be disrupted by external force causing the layers of ions to slide past each other

Question 3

Conductivity

Answer 3

In solid sate ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because the ions are in a fixed place and cannot move. However in liquid they can conduct electricity as the electrons are free to move around

Question 4

Monatomic ion

Answer 4

Monatomic ions are formed from a single atom, either by gaining or losing one electron

Question 5

electronegativity across and down a group and period

Answer 5

en decreases down the group

increases across the period
