Construct a chemical equation for this reaction, making sure to show state symbols.
What does the term ionic lattice mean?
Explain why potassium bromide does not conduct electricity in the solid state but does conduct electricity when molten.
What is the meaning of the term electrolyte?
Describe the electrolysis of concentrated aqueous potassium bromide. Include: an ionic half-equation for the reaction at the cathode, the name of the product at the anode, and the name of the potassium compound that is formed.
When molten potassium bromide is electrolysed, the cathode product is different. Name the substance formed at the cathode during electrolysis of molten potassium bromide.
Write a chemical equation to represent this reaction.
Draw a dot-and-cross diagram to show how electrons are arranged in a molecule of iodine monochloride. Show only the outer-shell electrons.
Using attractive forces, explain why these melting points are so different.
Write an ionic half-equation to show what happens to the chlorine molecules, $\text{Cl}_2$, in this reaction.
Explain why the bromide ions, $\text{Br}^-$, behave as reducing agents in this reaction.
