1.
Why do ionic compounds dissolve in water? Explain in terms of water molecules.
Answer: - Polar water molecules are attracted towards ions on the surface of ionic lattice - Water molecules bond to the ions, weakening the ionic bond - Ionic bonds are broken - Ions become surrounded by water molecules and break free from the lattice.
2.
Why do ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points?
Answer: -Ionic compound is arranged in a giant ionic lattice -They contain ionic bonding -There is a strong electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions -So large amount of energy is required to break the bond
3.
What is ionic bonding?
Answer: The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions
4.
Define covalent bonding.
Answer: The strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms.
