Front

What is the typical melting point of ionic compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds generally have high melting points.

Front

What is the role of electrons in metallic bonding?

Back

Electrons are delocalized and can move freely, contributing to conductivity.

Front

How do ionic compounds typically form?

Back

Ionic compounds typically form when metals transfer electrons to nonmetals.
