Yes. The nature of an ionic bond is that it is non-directional and therfore compounds form lattices rather than discrete molecules.

What type of structures do metallic bonds create?
Giant crystalline lattices in the solid state. Metallic bonding nvolves delocalisation of electrons acoss many atoms. Note that molten metals also conduct electricity- the metallic bonds persist in the molten state.
Temperature differences between the equator and the poles produce giant what?
it can produce convection current in the atmosphere
A giant star is always what?
Big.
What is element with giant structures?
simple molecules are bonds between non-metals and elements, or in some cases, non-metals and non-metals. Things like Water, CO2, I2 are simple moleculars. The single molecules of simple moleculars are held together through covalent bonds, the intermolecular forces that hold together many bonds are weaker, thus simple moleculars have low melting/boiling points. Giant Metallics are bonds between metals, such as Zinc Magnesium, and have strong bonds among and between atoms, with high melting/boiling points and ability to conduct electricity.
What is the diffrance between a white dwarf and a red giant?
There are huge differences in:Size (diameter)DensityColorEnergy production (white dwarves no longer produce energy)Brightness
What kind of chemical bond produces cry stalline lattices?
Ionic bonds: Ionic solids, Covalent bonds in giant covalent molecules such as diamond, silicon dioxide Metallic bonds- metals Crystal lattices are just a regular arrangement of atoms/molecules. They are not unique to any one form of bonding.
Do ionic bonds always produce giant ionic structures?
Yes, eg Na+ and Cl- ions produce an endless, three-dimensional matrix of salt. Note the ions in a giant ionic structure are closely packed together
What form do ionic compounds take?
Giant lattices.
What kind of chemical bond produces crystalline lattices?
Any type of bonding can result in crystalline lattices. A crystal is a highly ordered arrangement of particles. The forces holding the particles together can differ, but as long as the solid forms slowly enough, the particles can line themselves up into a lattice.Ionic bonding can produce crystals such as copper sulfate.Covalent bonding can produce molecular crystals such as iodine or giant covalent lattices such as diamond.Metallic bonding can produce crystals of metals, though for practical reasons mostly we make sure the metals we use every day contain only very tiny ones.Ionic bond is the chemical bond that makes crystalline lattices. This is taught during science.
What is a giant covalent lattice?
Giant covalent, lattice structures contain a lot of non-metal atoms, each joined to adjacent atoms by covalent bonds. The atoms are usually arranged into giant regular lattices. The structure requires an element with very strong bonds between the atoms to create various materials. A couple of examples are (carbon) Diamond and Buckminster Fullerine. Graphite is also one but has weak bonds as well. Silica and molybdenum can also make covalent lattice structures.

Why is NaCl not a molecule?
Because sodium chloride form giant lattices without a limit between molecules.
What is it called when an atom on left hand side of the periodic table forms a bond with one on the right hand side?
Atoms on the left are metals; atoms on the right are non-metals. When a metal bonds with a non-metal, an ionic compound is formed. Ionic compounds are not molecules but giant crystal lattices.
Why is a lot of energy needed to produce free carbon atoms from solid carbon?
carbon in solid form, forms 4 covalent strong bonds with other carbons (giant lattice structure) these bonds require a high amount of energy to break them.
what type of bonds form lattice structures?
Ionic bonded always. Also giant covalent structures- like diamond and silicon dioxide. It is NOT just ionic compounds!
Why does silicon can form giant structures?
Silicon (like carbon) can form covalent bonds, it forms a giant molecule with the diamond structure. Silicon dioxide is also a giant structure with polar covalent bonds. Silica reacts with basic oxides to form silicates- and these are generally giant structures, polar covalent bonds again, that form a very large proportion of the minerals in the earths crust.
