Q

What does non-directionality mean?

A

24
Q

What do ionic compounds dissolve + disassociate in?

A

Polar solvents

25
Q

Are ionic compounds charged overall?

A

NO

26
Q

When do ionic compounds conduct electricity?

A

When molten / in solution

27
Q

What do ionic compounds form?

A

Regular crystalline solids with high melting temperatures

28
Q

In an ionic lattice, what is every ion attracted to?

A

All other ions with the opposite charge

29
Q

What is lattice energy?

A

The enthalpy of formation energy change forming 1 mole of ionic solid from its gaseous ions - measures bond strength

30
Q

What factors favour an easy cation formation?

A

Low ionization energy of the METAL

31
Q

What factors favour an easy anion formation?

A
  • High e- affinity/electronegativity of the non-metal
  • Small size of NON-METAL
  • Low charge on ANION
  • Large electronegativity DIFFERENCE between combining atoms
  • High lattice energy of IONIC COMPOUND
32
Q

What ions are smaller than parent ions?

A

Positive ions

33
Q

What is polarisation?

A

Distortion of the e- cloud of an atom

34
Q

How does a small ion have more polarizing power?

A

Higher charge density

35
Q

How does a large ion have great polarizability?

A

Larger its N.O of e-

36
Q

DO anions / cations have more polarising power and why?

A

CATIONS , because they are generally smaller

37
Q

If a negative ion is distorted ,because of polarisation it has what?

A

COVALENT character

38
Q

What is an ideal ionic compound composed of?

A

Completely separate spherical ions

39
Q

When is an ionic compound likely to have covalent character?

A

The cation = small +/ high charge (highly polarising)

The anion = large +/ high charge (highly polarisable)
