Ionic bonds

Ionic bonds

Ionic bonds

THe CATion transfers valence electrons to the Anion. A a Crystalline lattice holds it together.

Ionic bonds

How can you tell if it is an Ionic bond?

You look for the Metal!!! A Metal and a non metal is required to make an Ionic bond.

This is also called a SALT.

Multiple Choice

How are Ionics held together?

• they are not

• Weak bonds

• Crystalline lattice

• Like charges

Ionic bonds are strong

Salts have very high melting points. This means that you need a LOT of heat to melt salt. Think of your French fries. The salt is a crystal not a puddle.

Multiple Choice

What temperature do Ionics melt?

• Very low temperatures

• They don't ever melt

• Very high temperatures

• They always melt

Ionic bonds

• Are good conductors

• But ONLY WHEN dissolved in water!!!

• (aq) aqueous mixture

When a salt dissolves in water (aq)

IONS are FREE to MOVE!!

THE MORE FREE MOVING IONS

• the Brighter the light!!!!!!!!!

• This is called an ELECTROLYTE

Multiple Choice

When do Ions conduct electricity?

• When they are in a crystal structure

• When they are free moving in solution

• When they are solids

• When they are bonded together.
