6 characteristics of ionic bonds |
Soluble in water, conductive when molten or aqueous, hard and brittle, has a low volatility, high melting and boiling points, non conductive as solids,, |
|
|
Why are ionic bonds only conductive when molten or in water? |
Their electrons can move around freely |
|
|
Why are they soluble in water? |
Because of the polar nature of water |
|
|
Why are ionic bonds hard and brittle? |
Because of the crystal lattice where if 2 like charges were to meet it would cause the crystal crack |
|
|
Why do ionic bonds have high boiling and melting points and low volatility? |
Because of the strength of the attraction |
|
|
What are the characteristics of metalic bonding? |
Ductile, malliable, shiny, high melting point, and conductive |
|
|
Characteristics of alloys |
Less ductile, less malleable and harder and stronger than metal |
