45
What is the structure of ionic compounds
* Oppositely charged ions attract each other strongly
* Each ion attracts oppositely charged ions in all directions
* In the solid state, the ions build up into a giant ionic lattice
* Ions are closely packed in a regular lattice arrangement

47
What are the properties of ionic compounds
* Solid at room temperature
* High melting and boiling points
* Tend to dissolve in polar solvents such as water
* Conduct electricity only when molten or in aqueous solution (not when solid
48
Why are ionic compounds solid at room temperature
At room temperature there isn't energy to overcome electrostatic attractive forces between cations and anions in the giant ionic lattice
49
Why do ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points
* Large electrostatic attractive forces between cations and anions in the giant ionic lattice
* High temperatures are needed to provide the energy required to overcome these forces
* Therefore most ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points
50
What 2 factors affect melting and boiling point of ions
* Ionic charges
* Size of ions
51
How does the ionic charge affect the strength of the bond
The strength of the ionic bond increases when the charge on the ions increases
52
How does the sixe of the ions affect the strength of the bond
The strength of the ionic bond increases when the size of the ions decreases
53
Do ionic compounds tend to dissolve in polar solvents such as water
Yes
54
Can ionic compounds conduct electricity in solid state
No
55
Why can't ionic compounds conduct electricity in solid state
* Ions held in fixed positions in giant ionic lattice
* No mobile charge carriers
* No electrical conductivity
56
Why can ionic compounds conduct electricity in liquid or aqueous state
* Ions are free to move
* Ions are mobile charge carriers
* Electricity is conducted
57

A substance made up of only one type of atom
58
What is a compound
A substance consisting of two or more elements chemically bonded together
59
What is a molecule
A group of atoms covalently bonded together

What is covalent bonding
Covalent bonding is the strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms
61

* Non metalic elements
* Compounds of non-metalic elements
* Polyatomic ions

the overlap of atomic orbitals, each containing one electron, to give a shared pair of electrons
63

64
Is a covalent bond localised
Yes
65
Where is a covalent bond localised
The electrostatic attraction is localised and is solely between the shared pair of electrons in the covalent bond and the nuclei of the bonding atoms
66
# True or False:
An ion attracts oppositely charged ions in all directions resulting in a giant ionic lattice
True
67
What is a shared pair of electrons called
A shared pair of electrons is called a bonded pair of electron

71
What is a double covalent bond
The electrostatic attraction is between two shared pairs of electrons and the nuclei of the bonding atoms
72
