- Ionic Bonding
- Atoms lose or gain electrons to form charged particles (ions)
- Strongly attracted to one another
- Always have GIANT IONIC LATTICES
- Closely packed in a regular lattice arrangement
- There are very strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions, in all directions
- High melting points due to the strong attraction between the ions.
- When melt the ions are free to move and they'll carry electric current
- They dissolve easily in water.
- The ions separate and are all free to move in the solution, so they'll carry electric current
- Atoms lose or gain electrons to form charged particles (ions)
