IONIC SUBSTANCES
- giant ionic lattice structure
- millions of strong ionic bonds
- lots of energy needed to break these
- high melting and boiling points
- metal and non metal compound
- when solid - don't conduct electricity
- ions can't move
- when melted/dissolved in water - conduct electricity
- ions can move more freely
- gaining or losing electrons
- metals lose electrons
- non metals gain electrons
- to achieve a full outer shell
- held together by strong forces of attraction
- between + and - ions
- EXAMPLES
- Sodium Chloride NaCl
- Magnesium Oxide MgO
- Calcium Bromide CaBr2
