Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 3.6 Ionic radius, charge & bond strength
Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 3.6 Ionic radius, charge & bond strength
Practise comparing ionic bond strength using ionic radius and charge, often through melting temperatures or ion-pair choices.
How this is tested
- compare bond strength by linking smaller ionic radii to stronger electrostatic attraction
- explain melting temperature differences using attraction between specified ions
