Front (Question)
what is ionic bonding?
Back (Answer)
ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
#4
Front (Question)
how is an ionic compound arranged?
Back (Answer)
giant ionic lattice
#5
Front (Question)
Why do ionic compounds have high melting points?
Back (Answer)
• ionic bonds are very strong • in a giant ionic lattice there are lots of ionic bonds • breaking all the ionic bonds requires a large amount of energy
#6
Front (Question)
When can ionic compounds conduct electricity and not conduct electricity?
Back (Answer)
solid - no conductivity - ions can’t move freely liquid or dissolved - high conductivity - ions can move freely
