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.
