1
Q

Ion

A

an ion is a charged particle. Ions form from (groups of) atoms by the loss or gain of one or more electrons

2
Q

Ionic bond

A

electrostatic attraction between oppositley charged ions

form when opositely charged ions attract (e.g nonmetal and a metal)

3
Q

A

have a lattice structure (3D chrystalline)

  • fixed arrangement of ions based on repeating unit; have low volatility
  • e.g. coordination number of NaCl lattice is 6 because each sodium ion surrounded by 6 chloride ions and vice versa
4
Q

A

measure of the strength of attraction between ions in their lattice

5
Q

volatility of ionic compounds

A

low volatility (tendency of a substance to vaporize)

6
Q

solubility of ionic compounds

A
  • determined by the degree to which separated particles of solute are able to form bonds/attractive forces with the solvent
    = solubility depends on nature of solvent (‘like dissolves like’)
    -ionic compounds are generally soluble in ionic/polar solvents but not in non-polar solvents
7
Q

boiling/melting point of ionic compounds

A

  • strong electrostatic force attraction between ions
  • solid at room temperature

8
Q

electrical and thermal conductivity of ionic compounds

A

don’t conduct electricity in solid state;

conduct in molten state or in an aqueous solution (due to free, delocalized electrons that can move)

9
Q

physical properties of ionic compounds

A

BRITTLE; movement of ions of the same charge along each other causes repulsive forces to cause them to split

10
Q

how do you make an ionic compound?

11
