Describe the bonding in ionic compounds
They are held together by the strong ionic forces of
oppositely charged ions. Metal ions have a positive charge
and non-metals ions have a negative charge so they are
attracted. They have very strong bonds.
Why can ionic compounds conduct electricity when in
solution?

Metals have free Electrons that are able to move around
They do not conduct electricity because they do not have
and transfer energy.
Describe how the 2 pictures are different to each other.
Alloys have different sized particles. In pure metals, all
k
the atoms are the same. My main areas for improvement are:
Why are some alloys harder than pure metals?
They have different sized particles so the layers can not
slide across each other as easily.

The ions are free to move about and can conduct electricity.
