Ionic Bonding

Question 0

What keeps the ions in a giant ionic structure together?

Answer 0

➖ELECTROSTATIC FORCES OF ATTRACTION BETWEEN THE IONS, they work in all directions.

Question 1

How is a giant ionic structure organised?

Answer 1

➖In a LATTICE

Question 2

What do elements in group 1 produce?

Answer 2

➖They all produce ions with a charge of +1 ➖ALKALI METALS

Question 3

What do elements in group 7 produce?

Answer 3

➖All produce ions with a charge of -1

➖Halogens

Question 4

What is the structure of elements like in group 0?

Answer 4

➖Full outer shell. ➖UNREACTIVE

Question 5

What is an isotope?

Answer 5

Versions of an element
➖Proton no. is the same
➖Different no. of neutrons

Question 6

Do substances made from simple molecules have low boiling/melting points or high boiling/melting points?

Answer 6

➖They have LOW BOILING AND MELTING POINTS!

Question 7

Why don’t simple covalent molecules conduct electricity?

Answer 7

➖Because there is NO OVERALL ELECTRIC CHARGE, so don’t conduct electricity

Question 8

What does boiling or melting simple covalent molecules require?

Answer 8

➖Requires ENERGY to OVERCOME THE WEAK INTERMOLECULAR FORCES OF ATTRACTION.

Question 9

What is two features of an ionic compound and why?

Answer 9

➖high melting points
➖high boiling points
✖️Because large amounts of energy is required to break every single bond.
