Front

What is the difference between ionic and molecular compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds are formed from the electrostatic attraction between ions, while molecular compounds are formed from covalent bonds between nonmetals.

Front

What is the general property of ionic compounds regarding their melting and boiling points?

Back

Ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points due to strong ionic bonds.

Front

What is the result of dissolving ionic compounds in water?

Back

They dissociate into their constituent ions, making the solution conductive.

Front

What is the significance of the octet rule in ionic bonding?

Back

Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons, leading to the formation of ions.

Front

What is a common characteristic of molecular compounds?

Back

They usually have lower melting and boiling points compared to ionic compounds.
