How particles differ Oxygen gas Molten sodium chloride
2(b)(i) In molten sodium chloride, the Na+ and Cl- ions are free to move and can act as
charge carriers.
2(b)(ii) Oxygen exist as a gas at room temperature, as it has a low boiling point, as little
energy is required to overcome weak intermolecular forces of attraction.

2(b) In calcium oxide, one Ca2+ ion, with charge 2+, will bond with two Cl- ions, each with
charge 1-, to keep the overall charge of the compound equal to zero. However, in
sodium oxide, one Na+ ion, with charge 1+, will bond with two O2- ions, each with charge
2-, to keep the overall charge of the compound equal to zero.
1m: to state that in CaCl2, the ratio of ions is 1:2, while in Na2O is 2:1
1m: to state the difference in ratio is to keep the overall charge of compound to zero.
2(c) The strong electrostatic forces of attraction holding the Ca2+ and Cl- ions as well as Na+
and O2- ions require a large amount of energy to overcome. Hence, they have high
melting points.
