(5 cards)
1
Q
Full marks for ionic diagram?
A
Outer shells, square brackets, charges in the top right (+, 2-), electron configurations at the bottom (2,8,8), chemical symbol (NaCl OR Na+Cl-)
2
Q
What type of attraction is there between oppositely charged ions?
A
Electrostatic (acts in all directions)
3
Q
What is the arrangement of ions in an ionic compound?
A
Giant lattice
4
Q
Two examples of simple and giant covalent structures
A
SIMPLE: Hydrochloric acid and Oxygen gas
GIANT: Diamond and Silicon dioxide (silica)
5
Q
Why can metals conduct electricity and heat?
A
Delocalised electrons can carry charge and energy and are free to move around, so they collide, passing charge from one to another
