ionic bonds Flashcards
1
Q
what is the structure of ionic bonds
A
giant crystal lattice structure
2
Q
high or low melting boiling points
A
high
3
Q
why does it have high melting and boiling point
A
more energy is needed to overcome the strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
4
Q
the higher the charge, the higher the…
A
melting and boiling point
5
Q
how does ionic bonds conduct electricity in liquid state
A
- giant crystal lattice structure
- has mobile ions that move around to carry electric charges
- can conduct electricity
6
Q
why can’t ionic bonds conduct electricity in solid state
A
- giant crystal lattice structure
- held in fixed positions so they cannot move
- cannot carry charges and conduct electricity
