Analyse and evaluate the data about ionic compounds that are listed in the table below. 

Identify and make scientifically supported judgments to explain any relationships between the size (radius) of ions present, and the predicted properties of their compounds. Your explanation should refer to your knowledge of ions, ionic bonding and the behaviour of electric charges. State any assumptions in your explanation.
