| The atoms in a covalent bond are held together by... | The nuclei of each atom and a shared pair of electrons |
| Simple Molecular structures are hard to break because... | They have weak intermolecular forces which only need a small amount of energy to break |
| Ion | Charged particle |
| Ionic Bond | Attraction between two oppositely charged ions |
| Structure of Ionic Compounds | Giant Lattice Structure |
| Under what conditions can ionic compounds conduct electricity | When they have been melted or dissolved in water, the ions free to move about. Movement of charged particles allows electrical conductivity |
