Study Notes

Ionic Compounds

Ionic compounds can be explained by the provided explanation, which involves the electrolysis of compounds.

Role of Metals and Non-Metals in Electrolysis

Metals lose electrons to form positively charged ions (cations) during electrolysis.
Non-metals gain electrons to form negatively charged ions (anions) during electrolysis.

Ionic Bonding

Oppositely charged particles (cations and anions) are held together by electrostatic attraction in a compound.

Limitations of the Explanation

Covalent compounds cannot be explained by the provided explanation, which is specific to ionic compounds.
