1 of 7
what is the shape of the p orbital?
dumb-bell
2 of 7
why do ionic compounds dissolve in water?
the ionic lattice is broken down and the water surrounds and attracts the ions
3 of 7
why do ionic compounds have high boiling and melting points?
high amounts of energy are needed to overcome the electrostatic bonds
4 of 7
Why do ionic compounds conduct electricity when in solution?
the ionic lattice breaks down and the ions are free to move.
