The chemical bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another is called ionic bond. It is also known as electrovalent bond. And the compounds containing ionic bonds are called ionic ...

The details of how ions are formed are not required for this topic. In Unit 1 you are expected to be able to use the table of common ions to identify the ions present in a compound and then construct ...

A small piece of sodium metal is placed in a flask of chlorine gas. A little water helps expose the sodium so it can react with the chlorine gas. The reaction releases a lot of heat as the ionic ...

A two-dimensional model for the ionic lattice in sodium chloride Remember that the lattice arrangement is giant - for example, a single grain of salt may contain 1.2 × 10 18 (1,200,000,000,000,000,000 ...
