Properties of compounds with giant ionic structures?
High melting point High Boiling point Conducts electricity when molten or dissolved Cant conduct electricity when solid Example Sodium chloride
Why do ionic compounds like lead iodide not conduct electricity when solid?
In order to conduct electricity, a substance must have charged particles which are free to move through it. In an ionic solid, all of the ions are bound in a crystal lattice structure which prevents them from moving.
Why are ionic compounds good conductors when they are melted?
Ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity when they are melted because the molecules in the compound are spread out further and can create more friction therefore creating an electric current
Can water molecules can pull ionic compounds apart?
no it cant
In an ionic compound the attractions between cations and hold the compounds toughter?
Why cant you just answer his question? The answer to the worksheet you are doing is covalent bonds

no it cant
Is sodium hydroxide a conductor of electricity?
yes. Salt water can conduct electricity. It can also be a battery but not a very sustainable one.
Are there lakes so pure that they do not conduct electricity?
no! All lakes on earth rite now conduct electricity. u cant make any lke that pure
What does not conduct heat or electricity?
hmmm i also have the same question but i cant find it.
Why cant salt dissolve in water?
it can, polar water molecules easily dissolve polar molecules, or ionic compounds such as salt.
Why cant NaCl conduct electricity in solid form?
one simple answer is that whan NaCl is solid the ions Na+ and Cl- are not free to move and conduct the electricity. when in a aqeous solution and as a liquid the ions are free to move and the electricity can be conducted. hope this helps
What two compounds can be decomposed by electrolysis?
Yes. Electrolysis" literally means to break something apart (in this case water) using electricity. u like poo

Can gold alloys resist moisture cant conduct electricity?
1. Gold alloys are resistant to moisture. 2. Gold alloys are good conductors of electricity.
