#1
Front (Question)
How are giant ionic structures held together
Back (Answer)
Because there are strong electrostatic forces operating in all directions and hold the oppositely charged ions together
#2
Front (Question)
How much energy does it take to break up a giant ionic lattice
Back (Answer)
A lot because there are
#3
Front (Question)
Do ionic compounds have high or low melting points
Back (Answer)
High
#4
Front (Question)
Do ionic compounds dissolve in water
Back (Answer)
some, but not all
#5
Front (Question)
What happens when an ionic compound dissolves in water
Back (Answer)
the lattice is split up by the water molecules, the ions are free to move in the solution, they can carry their charge to oppositely charged electrodes
#6
Front (Question)
Can giant ionic structures conduct electricity
Back (Answer)
Yes, when molten or in a solution
#7
Front (Question)
Can ionic solids conduct electricity
Back (Answer)
no
