Ionic Structure And Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
Ionic bonding is a
A
TRANSFER of electrons
2
Q
What is ionic bonding between
A
Metal and a non metal
3
Q
What’s happens to the metal during ionic bonding
A
Loses electrons to form +vely charged ions
4
Q
What’s happens to the non metal during ionic bonding
A
Gains electrons to form negatively charged ions
5
Q
What is the structure of ionic compounds
A
Giant ionic lattice
6
Q
Why do ionic compounds have high melting points and boiling points
A
Many strong bonds between the ions and it takes a lot of energy to overcome these bonds
7
Q
When can ionic compounds conduct electricity
A
When they melt because the ions are free to move and carry electrical current
