    Key Questions:

    1. Describe the structure of an ionic compound?
      • Ionic compounds have regular structures (giant ionic lattices) in which there are strong electrostatic Forces of attraction in all directions between oppositely charged ions.
    2. Explain why ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points?
      • These compounds have high melting points and high boiling points because of the large amounts of Energy needed to break the many strong bonds.
    3. Under what conditions are ionic compounds able to conduct electricity?
      • When melted or dissolved in water, ionic compounds conduct electricity because the ions are free to move and so charge can flow.
    4. What are the structures of different ionic compounds?
      • Need to know the structure of sodium chloride.
