Properties of Ionic Compounds

100

What type(s) of element(s) are found in binary ionic compounds?

A metal and a nonmetal

200

When lithium (Li) is involved in forming an ionic compound, what type of ion does it form:  cation or anion?

Cation (positive)

300

When a metal and a nonmetal react to form an ionic compound, one or more _______________ are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal.

Electrons

400

True or False:  Ionic compounds will conduct electricity in the solid state, liquid state or dissolved in water?

False; Ionic compounds will not conduct electricity in the solid state because in order to conduct, a substance must have ions that can move which they cannot when in a solid crystal.

500

What physical state are ionic compounds typically found in at room temperature?

They are solids.

(In an ionic crystal, each ion is forming ionic bonds with multiple other ions, creating strong bonds which favor the solid state.)
