ionic bonding
Cards in this deck (5)
- 1what's an ionan ion is when it loses or gains electrons to form charged particles. they have a strong electrostatic force of attraction between the opposite charges.
- 2describe about ionic compounds having a giant ionic latticeionic compounds are formed in a closely packed regular lattice arrangement.they are held by a strong electrostatic for of attraction from all direction
- 3why does a salt crystal tend to be in a cuboid shapebecause they have a giant ionic lattice.
- 4in which two ways can ionic compound be separated1. dissolving it in water- the ions separate making it free to move in solution therefore they carry out an electric current.
2. melting it at high melting point since they have a strong force of attraction. the ions are to free to move carrying out an electric current. - 5why are noble gas unreactive in group 0they have the highest energy level in their outer shell. they are stable .
