- Covalent vs Ionic structures
- Ionic structures
- Giant lattice structure
- Positive and negative ions attract
- Strong electrostatic forces
- Difficult to break down
- High melting and boiling points
- Difficult to break down
- Strong electrostatic forces
- Can conduct electricity when liquid or dissolved.
- Ions are free to move
- Covalent compounds
- Strong with weak intermolecular forces
- Easy to break down
- Low melting and boiling points
- Most are gases at room temperature
- Low melting and boiling points
- Easy to break down
- Cannot conduct electricity
- Strong with weak intermolecular forces
- Covalent compounds
- Ions are free to move
- Giant covalent structures
- Hard but brittle
- Extremely high melting points
- Unreactive when solid
- Doesn't dissolve in water
