Ionic model Flashcards
What are positive ions called
cations
what is a negative ion called
anion
Definition of ionic bonding
the force of attraction between oppositely charged species
What type of attraction is formed between the oppositely charged ions
electrostatic attraction
Why do ionic compounds have high melting points
electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions is very strong and a requires a lot of energy to overcome
What is the charge of an ionic compound
neutral
roman numerals used to show the charge of ions
yes
What are the formulas for these polyatomic ions
Ammonium
Hydroxide
Nitrate
Hydrogencarbonate
Carbonate
Sulfate
Phosphate
NH4+
OH-
NO3-
HCO3-
CO32-
SO42-
PO43-
What type of forces in a lattice structure
Electrostatic forces of attraction
What process is lattice enthalpy
Endothermic (break any bonds)
(positive result)
Properties of ionic compounds (giant ionic lattice structures) (6)
• Ionic compounds are strong
• They are brittle as ionic crystals can split apart
• Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points
• Ionic compounds are not volatile
• Ionoc compounds are soluble in water
• Can conduct electricity when molten or in solution
Out of Mg2+O2-
and Na+Cl-
what has the higher melting point
MGO because it has a higher charge density due to electrostatic attraction of charges
What is a simple covalent structure melting and boiling point like ?
low
What is the melting/boiling point in giant covalent structure
high
Do simple covalent and giant covalent conduct electricity?
no
