ionic compounds

Question 1

ionic compounds have a regular lattice structure

Answer 1

they always have giant ionic lattice structures the ions form a closely packed regular lattice. there are very strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions in all directions

Question 1

ionic bonding using dot and cross diagrams

Answer 1

they show the arrangement of electrons of electrons in an atom or ion. they can also show what happens to the electrons when atoms react with each other. each electron is represented by a dot or cross

Question 2

lattice

Answer 2

the symmetrical three-dimensional structural arrangements of atoms, ions or molecules inside a crystalline solid as points

Question 3

ionic compound properties

Answer 3

high melting points n boiling points cause of strong attraction between ions
dont conduct electricity cause ions are fixed in place
