the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
1 of 8
What happens during ionic bonding?
Electrons are transferred from the metal to the non-metal. Oppositely charged ions are formed which are bonded together by electrostatic attraction. The metal ion is positive. The non-metal ion is negative.
2 of 8
What is used to show the origin of electrons in chemical bonding?
dot-and-cross diagrams. Dots to show one element, crosses to show another.

What is a giant ionic lattice?
a 3D structure of oppositely charged ions, held together by strong ionic bonds.

What is the 'make up' of a giant ionic lattice?
Each ion is surrounded by oppositely charged ions. These ions attract each other from all directions.
