Ionic Compounds Flashcards
1
Q
Whatโs are the three properties of ionic compounds
A
Giant ionic lattice stucture
High meltin and boilin points
Conduct bare electricity only when Milton or dissolved
2
Q
Explain giant lattice structures in ionic compounds
A
Electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions act in all directions
3
Q
Explain High meltin and boiling points in ionic compounds
A
Lots of energy needed to overcome the many strong bonds
4
Q
Explain conducts electricity only when molton or dissolved in ionic compounds
A
Ions free to move and carry electric charge
