Cations & anions held by strong electrostatic forces in giant ionic lattice
Strong attraction between ions forms rigid structure
Like charges forced together cause repulsion, splitting solid
Strong electrostatic forces need large energy to overcome
Stronger forces as ions pack closer - higher melting point
Stronger bonds formed, higher melting points
Do not conduct - ions fixed in place by ionic bonds
Conduct electricity - ions free to move and carry charge
Generally soluble - water molecules interact with ions
Electrostatic forces too strong for water to break lattice
