Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What are the properties of ionic compounds?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. 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. 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. When melted or dissolved in water, ionic compounds conduct electricity because the ions are free to move and so charge can flow.
  4. Knowledge of the structures of specific ionic compounds other than sodium chloride is not required.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students

AFL/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.
