Ionic Bonding

Ionic bonds bind metallic ions and negatively charges ions together in salt crystals.
Ionic bonding is caused by the electrostatic attraction between metallic ions and negatively charged ions.
Metallic ions together with negatively charged ions form ionic compounds called salts.
Ionic bonds are strong 'physical' bonds and don't form molecules.
Ionic bonds can be broken without chemical reactions (by melting or by dissolving).
Salts do not exist as molecules even though chemical equations suggest they do.
Each metallic ion is associated with several adjacent, negatively charged ions.
Each negatively…
