Fill in the blank: In an ionic solid, the oppositely charged ions are arranged in a tightly packed, extended three-dimensional structure called a _______.
crystal lattice
molecular structure
covalent bond
metallic bond
What property of ionic compounds makes them suitable for use in ceramics and cookware?
What does Figure 1 represent in the context of ionic compounds?
The structure of an ionic compound
The process of ionic bonding
The properties of ionic compounds
The formation of ions
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water but not in the solid state because:
they have free-moving ions in solution.
they have tightly bound ions in solid state.
water acts as a conductor.
solid state prevents ion movement.
