Bonding - Coggle Diagram

- - - - increase ionic charge=stronger bond
    - - increase atomic radius=weaker bond because charge is spread over large area
  - - - soluble in water
        
        water is a polar solvent
        
        involves...
        
        breaking down ionic lattice
        
        water molecules surrounding ions
        
        the stronger the lattice (bonds), the less soluble the ionic compound is
      - high mp/bp
        
        requires lots of energy to break forces between ions
      - doesn't conduct electricity as solid= ions held in place therefore can't carry charge
      - conducts electricity in solution/molten= lattice is broken and ions are free to move and carry charge
- - - - however only needs 6 electrons
