reacts it forms a positive ion, Cs+. How is a caesium ion formed?

A. A caesium atom gains a proton.
B. A caesium atom gains an electron.
C. A caesium atom loses an electron.
D. A caesium atom shares an electron.
2. Which one of the statements about the formation of a sodium ion from sodium
atom is correct?
A. A sodium atom gains an electron.
B. A sodium atom loses an electron.
C. A sodium atom loses a proton.
D. A sodium atom gains a proton.
3. Which row describes the structure of the positive ion in sodium chloride?
Protons Electrons Neutrons

A 11 11 12
B 11 10 12
C 17 17 18
D 17 18 18
4. Potassium bromide exists as an ionic lattice. Potassium bromide does not

conduct electricity when solid but does conduct electricity when molten.
(i) What is meant by the term ionic lattice?
Ionic lattice is the arrangements of cations and Aninions.
......................................................................................................................................................
.....................................................................................................................................................
(ii) Explain why potassium bromide does not conduct electricity when solid but
does conduct electricity when molten.
......................................................................................................................................................
In the solid state the ions are tightly packed packing it hard to conduct electricity but when in
......................................................................................................................................................
molten state the ions are more mobile and able to conduct electrical charges.
.....................................................................................................................................................
5. The table gives information about some atoms or ions, A, B and C. Complete
the table.
Number of Number of Electronic Charge

6. Some properties of lead (II) fluoride are shown in the table.
Property Lead (II) fluoride

Melting point / 0 C 855
Boiling point/ 0 C 1290
Conduction of electricity when solid Non-conductor
Conduction of electricity when molten Good conductor
(i) What is the formula of lead (II) fluoride?
……………………………………………………………………………..
(ii) What type of bonding is present between the particles in lead (II) fluoride?
……………………………………………………………………………..
Ionic bonding
(iii) What type of structure does solid lead (II) fluoride have?
ionic lattice
…………………………………………………………………………….
(iv) Explain in terms of attractive forces between particles why lead (II)
fluoride has a high melting point.
……………………………………………………………………………
Because the electrostatic force of attraction is strong between the ions which
requires alot of energy to break.

ANSWERS
1. C
2. B
3. B
4.
Number of Number of Electronic Charge

5. (i) PbF2
(ii) Ionic bonding
(iii) Giant ionic lattice
(iv) The electrostatic force of attraction between the ions in lead (II) fluoride is
strong. So the energy required for breaking bonds in melting is very high.
6. (i) An ionic compound is a giant structure of ions. The ions have a regular,
repeating arrangement called an ionic lattice.
(ii) In the solid state the ions are tightly packed and are not free to move to
conduct electricity. When melted or dissolved in water the ions are mobile
(free to move) and carry electric charge.
7. (i) 1. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.
2. They are soluble in water.
3. They do not conduct electricity in the solid state but in the molten state.
