What is a compound?

Two or more DIFFERENT atoms bonded together 

1 of 12

Define ionic bonding

oppositely charged Ions that are held together by electrostatic attraction in a lattice

Between a metal and a non-metal.

2 of 12

How are Ions formed?

When one or more electrons are transfered from one atom to another.

3 of 12

Write the sulfate ion

SO4 ^2-

4 of 12

Write a hydroxide ion

OH-

5 of 12

Write a nitrate ion

NO3 -

6 of 12

Write a carbonate ion

CO3 ^2-

7 of 12

Write an ammonium ion

NH4+

8 of 12

What is the overall charge of any compound?

zero

9 of 12

Can ionic compounds conduct electricity?

Only when molten as the ions are free to move around and carry a charge

10 of 12

Do they have a low or high melting point? Why?

High - because they have strong electrostatic forces so high amount of energy is needed to break them

11 of 12

Are they soluble?

They are in polar solvent as the charged particles pull the ions away from the lattice
