Question 20
F

Why do ionic compounds form giant structures rather than small molecules?

[1]
A

The electrostatic forces act in all directions, so many ions attract together

B

The ions share pairs of electrons with every one of their nearest neighbours

C

The ions are held together by weak forces of attraction between molecules

D

The ions are too large to be able to form molecules of only a few particles
