Ionic bonding and structure

Question 1

what is ionic bonding

Answer 1

the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charge ions

Question 2

what elements does ionic bonding occur between

Answer 2

metals and non metals

Question 3

what diagrams represent the bonding between a metal and a non metal

Answer 3

dot and dross

Question 4

What structures do ionic compounds form

Answer 4

Giant ionic latices

Question 5

What are the properties of giant ionic latices

Answer 5

high melting and boiling points due to string electrostatic attraction between oppositely charge ions

Question 6

what are the properties of ionic compounds

Answer 6

solid at room temperature due to strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
greater melting points in compounds with a greater charge

Many dissolve in polar solvents such as water because the polar solvents break down the lattice and surround each ion

Question 7

what is required for a compound to be soluble

Answer 7

the lattice must be broken down
water molecules must surround the ions

Question 8

electrical conductivity of ionic compounds

Answer 8

when solid the ions are unable to move and therefore cannot carry a charge
but when liquid or aqueous the ions are free to move and therefore a charge can be carried
