What keeps ions together in ionic bonding?
The opposite charges of the ions are strongly attracted to one another.
What atoms vibrate around a fixed point but do not change positions?
Solid
Which state of matter where particles are rigidly held in fixed positions?
This is the solid state.
Why ionic solids cannot conduct electricity in the solid state?
Electric current is moving charges. Solid ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because the charged ions are locked into place, causing the melting points of ionic compounds to be very high-often well above 300 degrees C. Vvlake11
In an ionic bond atoms are not sharing electrons What keeps the ions close together?
The strong ionic forces (electrostatic) of attractions that exists between the positively and negatively charged molecules keeps the ions together. remember that oppositely charged ions tend to attract. The is also weak Van der waals forces of attraction.
What keeps ions fix in their fixed positions within a crystal lattice?
electrostatic force
What keeps the ions in their fixed posistions within a crystal lattice?
Their ionic bonds
What keeps ions in their fixed position's within a Crystal lattice?
electrostatic force
What is statements about ice melting?
Water molecules move from their fixed positions
Do photo pixels have fixed sizes and positions?
NO
Why can't sodium chloride conduct electricity in crystalline form?
Ionic compounds are unable to conduct electricity in crystalline (or solid) form because the ions are unable to carry the electric current since they cannot move from their fixed positions. When in a dissolved state, the ions separate and can thus carry the current.
What keeps ions together in ionic bonding?
The opposite charges of the ions are strongly attracted to one another.
What group in the periodic table forms positions ions?
Groups 4 (can make positive and negative ions), 5, 6 and 7.
What keeps oppositely charged ions in solution from combining?
Hydration Spheres
Why ionic compounds such as NACL are brittle?
because the rigid interactions between charged ions hold the charged particles in fixed positions
Substances which flow and whose particles are not held in fixed positions?
Gases.
What atoms vibrate around a fixed point but do not change positions?
Solid
