Define ionic liquid
Defined as salt in liquid state
=> mpt <100C
Applications of ionic liquids
=> solvents - charge helps dissolution
=> batteries - good electrolytes
Effect of cation/anion size on mpt, surface tension and viscosity
Decreases with decreasing anion/cation size (neglibible vapour pressure)
Define isotropic
Equally disordered in all directions
Opposite of isotropic
Anisotropic
