What is an ion
Electrically charged species, formed after atoms gains or loses an electron
Cations
Positive ions
When metals lose electrons
Has fewer electrons than protons
Anions
negative ions
When non metals gain electrons
Has more electrons than protons
how is an Ionic bond formed
Formed by electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
Polyatomic ions
Ions made up of more than 1 atom, held together by covalent bonds, but overall have experienced a loss or gain of electrons
What is a lattice
Repeating arrangement of ions, atoms, or molecules
What structures do ionic compounds exist as?
3d lattice structures
What is the melting point and why
High melting point
Because of electrostatic attraction forces between ions, takes a lot of energy required to melt
high or low volatility and why?
Low volatility because it takes a lot of energy required for an ionic substance to vaporize
Is it conductive or not? In what states? Why?
conductive
Only in molten & aqueous states
Charged particles
