Ionic bonding refers to the electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. Ionic solids do not conduct electricity (they are insulators).

Why all solids do not change from solid to liquid to gas on heating?
because some solids have extreme strong force of attraction
Which has a stronger attraction among its submicroscopic particles- a solid at 25 degrees Celsius or a gas at 25 degrees Celsius?
In solids the attraction is stronger.
What distinguishes crystals from other solid matter?
crystals differ from solid matter from the fact that there is definite arrangement of the various constituting particles in the three dimensiomal space i.e, in the space lattice and there exist electrostatic forces of attraction between the various particles but in case of solids there can be definite arrangement of particles but the forces of interaction are generally metallic, covalent or any other
Why crystalline solids have sharp melting points whereas amorphous do not?
"As the atoms of Crystalline solids have specific shape and same distance,so they have same K.E,intermolecular forces of attraction and geometrical shape due to which Crystalline solids are blessed sharp melting points."
What is the bond present in every states of matter?
van der Vaals forces of attraction is present in solids, liquids and gases.
How does ionic bonding help explain the structure called crystal lattice?
An ionic bond can be defined as a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Crystal structure can be defined as a unique arrangement of atoms and molecules in crystalline liquid or solids,
Which type of bonding is more dominant in solids?
chemical bonding
Why does covalent bonding not happen in solids?
Covalent bonding does happen in solids. Caffeine is a solid. so are most organic molecules.
Why are ionic solids hard and brittle?
Ionic solids are brittle and hard as they are bonded with electrostatic bonds.
In metals and ionic solids there will be forces of repulsion between particles with like charges Agree or disagree and why?
Agree, because this repulsion of like electrostatic charges is an inherent property of such charges. However, the repulsive force can be exceeded by attractive, atomic level forces, such as those that form atomic nuclei from many protons, or by attractive electrostatic forces between opposite charges, as occurs in metallic bonding and ionic solids.
Why doesn't table salt melt easy?
Table salt (NaCl) is an ionic solid. Ionic solids are held by electrostatic forces of attraction. These forces are very strong and account for the high melting point of NaCl.
Is the attraction in particles stronger in liquids then solids?
Forces of attraction have a stronger effect on the behavior of liquid particles.
Why all solids do not change from solid to liquid to gas on heating?
because some solids have extreme strong force of attraction
Why do gases expand faster than liquids and solids?
Less bonding between the molecules.
Which has a stronger attraction among its submicroscopic particles- a solid at 25 degrees Celsius or a gas at 25 degrees Celsius?
In solids the attraction is stronger.
What is bonding in solids. write the list of different types of bonding in solids?
Strong chemical bonds in solids are ionic bonds, covalent bonds in giant network molecules and metallic bonds. Weak bonds in solids holding discrete molecules together are hydrogen bonds in solid H2O, HF, NH3 Weak intermolecular forces including dispersion forces and permanent dipole interactions
Why do crystalline solids shatter into regularly shaped fragments when broken?
Because crystaline solids' atoms are linked by ionic bonding that gives regular geometric structure.
