what do ions have a different number of
electrons
what is the difference between an anion and a cation
an anion has more electrons whereas a cation has less electrons
ionic compounds are formed whena what reacts with a what
a metal reacts with a non-metal
does the metal lose or gain electrons
it loses, forming a cation
the oppositely charged ions are strongly attracted via what attractions
electrostatic
ionic compounds have a what structure
lattice
why do ionic compounds have a high melting and boiling point
because the electrostatic attractions between the oppositely charged ions are very strong therefore a lot of energy is needed to overcome the strong attractions resulting in the high melting and boiling points
in what form can ionic compounds not conduct electricity
as a solid
