- Ionic Bonding
- electrons transferred from one atom to another
- there is strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
- have high melting/boiling points as a large amount of energy is needed to break strong electrostatic attraction
- they are brittle, layer of ions, if you get ions with the same charge next to eachother the layers repel eachother
- do not conduct electricty when solid as ions are unable to move, they can however conduct electricty when molten or in aqueous solution
- soluble in polar solvents (e.g. water)
- happens between oppositely charged ions
- lattice structure
