yep~ cuz ALL positive ions attract ALL negative ions everywhere in the same place.
lattice
Ionic compounds contain oppositely charged ions that are arrange in a crystal lattice. The positively charged ions are called cations, while the negatively charged ions are called anions.
They are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds
A giant ionic lattice is the result of ionic bonding between a metal and a non-metal atom. The metal atom transfers electrons to the non-metal atom, consequently oppositely charged ions are formed that are attracted to one another. This attraction then leads to the formation of an ionic bond.Potassium chloride, KI, is an example of a giant ionic lattice.
The name I think you're looking for is "lattice", where the oppositely charged ions arrange themselves in a giant 3-D network throughout an ionic solid.

An ionic solid. More specifically, the alternating positive and negative ions form an ionic lattice.
A Schottky defect is when 2 oppositely charged ions leave their normal lattice positions forming 2 vacancies in the lattice structure. This contrasts to a Frenkel defect, where 1 ion simple moves from it's normal lattice position to an interstitial site (tetrahedral/octahedral hole).
An estimate of the strength of the bonds in an ionic compound can be obtained by measuring the lattice energy of the compound, which is the energy given off when oppositely charged ions in the gas phase come together to form a solid.

In ionic compounds the ions are held in place in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. This is a type of chemical bond caused by the electromagnetic attraction of two oppositely charged ions.
Yes. Ionic compounds are strongly attracted by the electrostatic forces that bring 2 oppositely charged atoms together. One single positive ion will attract 4 negative ions and bond to it on all 4 sides (top,down,left,right). The negative ions will likewise do the same. In the end, the whole structure formed will resemble a neat compact lattice. The process is continuous, provided there is always a supply of ions. The lattice will then keep expanding.
The bond is an ionic bond, an electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. an example is NaCl which contains sodium ions, Na+, and chloride, Cl-, ions. The sodium chloride lattice is held together by electrostatic attraction between them.
An ionic bond can be defined as a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Crystal structure can be defined as a unique arrangement of atoms and molecules in crystalline liquid or solids,
