Ionic Bonding

Question 1

What compound is it between

Answer 1

electron transfer from metal and non metal

Question 2

Property of Ionic Compound

Answer 2

• high mp because more energy is required to overcome strong electrostatic forces
• soluble in polar solvents as they can overcome the forces. As charges increase solubility decreases
• not conduct electricity when solid (bc of forces) as they cannot move so can’t carry a charge. When molten/melted they can carry a charge as they are free to move
