Ionic bonding involves which of these?

Transferring electrons from a metal to a non-metal

Why do ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten but not when solid?

The ions become free to move when molten

Sharing pairs of electrons between non-metals

The forces between the molecules are weak

Graphite has spare delocalised electrons but diamond does not

It is made of layers that can slide over each other

Positive ions in a sea of delocalised electrons

The layers of ions can slide over each other

When layers shift, like charges line up and repel, splitting the lattice

Metals conduct when solid, ionic compounds do not
