Ionic Bonding Properties
Case 1: A solid that will not conduct
A technician tests pure sodium chloride. The solid does not conduct electricity, but the liquid formed when it is heated does. Explain the results using the arrangement and movement of ions.
- Its ions are fixed in a lattice and cannot move to carry charge.
- It contains no charged particles.
- Its electrons move freely, cancelling the charge.
- The ions have lost their charges in the solid.
Case 2: Comparing lattice attractions
Two ionic solids are being considered for use in a high-temperature process. Compare the strength of attraction between their ions.
- Magnesium oxide
- Sodium chloride
- They must have the same melting point because both are ionic.
- There is not enough information to compare their ionic attractions.
Case 3: Salt in water
A research team investigates what happens to an ionic solid when it dissolves. Think about what happens to the ions, rather than treating the dissolved substance as neutral molecules.
- All ionic compounds dissolve readily in water.
- Its lattice attractions are not overcome sufficiently by interactions with water under those conditions.
- It cannot contain ions because it is insoluble.
- It must conduct electricity as a solid.
