ionic bonding
What is ionic bonding?
Many strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions in an ionic lattice
What is the name for positive ions?
Cations
What is the name for negative ions?
Anions
ionic compounds
What is the structure of an ionic compound? Compound Ion Formula Charge
Giant ionic lattice Hydroxide OH 1-
Why are ionic compounds arranged in this Sulfate SO4 2-
