In this video, we continue exploring ionic bonding, this time looking at the properties of ionic compounds. First we look at how ionic compounds form a giant ionic lattice held in place by strong electrostatic forces of attraction. We then look at why ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points and why they cannot conduct electricity as solids but can when they are molten or dissolved in water.
