Firstly, Ionic solids can't conduct electricity, this is because of the close packed structure partly caused by the strong attraction between the delocalised electrons and the positively charged ions in the lattice structure (the close packed structure is also partially due to the fact it is in a solid state, it's not just solely to the ionic bonds). As the structure is so close packed, the ions are not free to move so electricity cannot be conducted.
Secondly, high melting and boiling points (counts as a physical property as it can be observed) as there is high attraction between the oppositely charged entities in the ionic lattice, added to by the sheer number of ionic bonds and resulting electrostatic attraction in a lattice (aka strong and plentiful ionic bonds) mean lots of energy is needed to overcome these bonds in order to change state.
Thirdly, they are usually hard and brittle as the lattice is a huge structure that is held rigidly in place by the strong electrostatic attraction arising from the ionic bonds.

What causes some materials to have magnetic fields?

enyata [817]

<span>Magnetic fields in certain materials (most commonly metals) are created due to moving electrons within these materials, which create an electric current.The distribution of electrons in these metals is uneven, resulting in an irregular rotation and lots of movement that then creates two magnetic poles (a north and south pole). When these poles align and face the same direction, they create a magnetic field.</span>

If your weight on earth is 107 pound and the force of gravity on the sun is 27 times the gravity of the earth what would your we

Wewaii [24]

Hi! It's simple you just have to multiply 107 times 27 which is 2,889 pounds
