The arrangement of particles that make up an ionic compound would be an ionic lattice type of crystal arrangement. An ionic lattice type of structure will be formed due to many of the ionic bonds formed between the oppositely charged ions of the metal and nonmetal.
Answer:
They are classified as METALS.
Explanation:
Elements are simple substances that cannot be chemically broken down into smaller substances. Based on different characteristics, they are classified into 3 namely:
- metals
- non metals and
- metalloid( mainly act as semi- conductor).
METALS are the type of elements that loses electrons to form positive ion, that is, they are electropositive elements. They are distinguished by the following characteristics:
- LUSTROUS: they have the ability to reflect light from its surface.
- At room temperature: Metals are solid are room temperature with the exception of Mercury which is liquid at room temperature.
- They react and form Basic Compounds
- Great conductor: most metals are great conductors of heat and electricity because they possess free electrons.
- Melting Point: they have high melting points.
CuCl2+F2—>CuF2+Cl2.
This is a single replacement because there is one compound and one element. Picture Cu as ‘A’ Cl2 as ‘B’ and F2 as ‘C.’ So AB+C—>AC+B. A and B “broke up” and that resulted to A going with C to create the compound CuF2 leaving Cl2 alone.
