CH+09+Bonding

=Welcome to Chapter 9 Bonding.=

Question/Thread #1:
State some physical properties related to ionic substances and explore how they relate to the type of bonding in ionic substances. You may also make predictions about specific ionic substances and then attempt to confirm those predictions with data. What are some causes for the variation in physical properties for ionic compounds? Explain these causes. Don’t feel obligated to answer all of this in one post. Continue to draw on what you are reading as well as each others’ posts. The thread should be a continuous exchange of ideas (questioning is an essential part of this exchange) with supporting data and information. The point value for this thread is: 10 with a max of 12.
