1
New cards

properties

form giant structures

giant ionic lattice

strong electrostatic forces of attraction between positive and negative ions

2
New cards

property

very high melting and boiling points

strong electrostatic forces of attraction require a lot of heat energy to break

3
New cards

why ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity as a solid

because ions can vibrate but not move because of electrostatic forces of attraction

4
New cards

why can ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten or dissolved in water

because ions can now move and carry electrical charge
