GCSE Chemistry Revision 'Properties of Ionic Compounds'

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. Finally, we explore why ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity when solids but can conduct electricity when molten or dissolved in water.

Absolute legend, still uploading videos to this day. Thank you for helping us

[leenamakkawi]

Thank you so much... I can't even express how helpful these videos have been for me. I genuinely love science because of how easy you make it to understand. Thank you for all your hard work!

[mayybellee]

Im so grateful for your videos my mocks are coming up soon and I always watch your videos when revising it helps me soo much!! ❤😊

[ishaan]

Thx you so much your carrying me through my Gcses 😀

[MMAclub-mk]

thank you so much, my gratitude for your help is immeasurable.

i love you bro youre the only reason im passing triple science

[cordeliahudson-yearsley]

these videos are going to be the reason i might pass my gcse science

[coritalksart]

Please can you make a playlist of all required practicals you need for the real exams ?

[MDAWE]

Can you talk about 6 marker questions please ?

i was just revising this topic and searched for a vid from u cos i didnt understand and see that u just posted it 😁

[KingPawin]

Hi Shaun, if I only watch your videos for my mock exams and try do some past papers, do you guarantee at least a grade 8 for me? I'm doing AQA triple by the way.

[sprt]

thank you so much, are these new videos added to the chemistry

[ThyManatee]

Sir you should really go over A GCSE Combined or triple Sciences Foundation and Higher and I would love this channel even more than I do

[Deminsworldwidechannel]

My chemistry exams tommorow term 1 wish me luck year 10

[deswfnkl]

I just was forced to switch to edexcel now idk what to do

[haifasaepp]

u remind me of sheldon from big bang theory love u cutie🥰🥰🥰🥰

[Ltiktok-mw]

can you do videos about the forensic science chapter? (BIO A LEVEL)

[sangeethadurai]

My friend said ur a ghost 😂😂😂😂😂😂 but u helped me pass🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅

[hime]

bro your carrying these exams like atlas

[weebyanseil]

How are the giant ionic lattices formed from ionic compounds.
