group seven ion charges

Back (Answer)

-1

#9
Front (Question)

compounds have

Back (Answer)

no overall charge - ions cancel out

#10
Front (Question)

ionic bonding in terms of electrostatic attractions

Back (Answer)

held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions

#11
Front (Question)

why compounds with giant ionic lattices have high MP/BP

Back (Answer)

• strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions • requires lots of energy to overcome

#12
Front (Question)

ionic compounds only conduct electricity when molten/aqueous solution

Back (Answer)

solid - ions fixed molten/aqueous - ions free to move, carrying charge
