2.8.8 (1)+/+1 K(1)+ / K+1

2.8.8 2−/−2 S2− / S−2

M1 – both arrangements correct

M2 – charge on potassium ion positive for potassium

and negative for sulfide
M3 – charge on sulfide ion for 1 mark

(b) (i) ions move/travel (to the electrodes) ions are free to move / electrons free 1
ions are mobile to move

M1 (electrostatic) forces (of attraction) between (oppositely

(ii) ionic bonding / ionic 3
charged) ions
bonds

M2 are (relatively) strong

M3 large amount of energy required to overcome the forces break the bonds
/ separate the ions from the lattice

M2 dep on mention of forces (of attraction) or bonds

Mention of covalent bonds or intermolecular forces no M1
