    What makes ionic compounds hard & brittle?

    Ionic compounds have a strong, rigid structure due to the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. This structure makes them hard and brittle. When pressure is applied, the layers of ions can slide past each other, breaking the bonds.

    Why do ionic compounds conduct electricity when melted or dissolved?

    When ionic compounds melt or dissolve, the ions become free to move, allowing them to carry an electric current. In their solid state, ions are fixed in a lattice and cannot move freely.

    Covalent bonds - what are they like?

    Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms. This sharing creates a strong attraction between the atoms, holding them together. Covalent compounds can exist as solids, liquids, or gases.

    How do metals conduct electricity?

    Metals have a unique bonding structure called metallic bonding. In this structure, valence electrons are free to move throughout the metal, creating a 'sea of electrons'. These free electrons can carry an electric current.

    Metallic bonds - what are they?

    Metallic bonds involve the sharing of valence electrons between all the atoms in a metallic structure. This creates a strong attraction that holds the atoms together in a close-packed arrangement.
