Q

how are ionic compounds formed, explain in terms of MgO

A

reaction of a metal with a non-metal
electron transfer occurs - metal gives away its outer shell electrons to non-metals
Mg is in group II, so has 2 available outer shell electrons
O is in group VI, so can accept 2 electrons to get a full outer shell configuration
Mg becomes Mg2+ and O becomes o2-

Q

what are thermosoftening polymers

A

a special type of polymer

there are no bonds between polymer chains
strong intermolecular forces ensure that the structure is solid at room temp
these forces are overcome by heating - polymer melts

At what point does a gas condense?

A

its boiling point

76
Q

What determines the melting and boiling point of a material?
