How do metals and non metals bond?
Generally they form an ionic compound. Electrons are transferred from metal to non-metal fornig ions that form ionic lattices.
Why do you use the term formula mass instead of molecular mass for ionic compound?
It is impossible to know the mass of a large ionic lattice.
What is a repeating pattern of positive and negative ions held together?
An ionic solid. More specifically, the alternating positive and negative ions form an ionic lattice.
Do ionic bonds always produce giant ionic lattices?
Yes. The nature of an ionic bond is that it is non-directional and therfore compounds form lattices rather than discrete molecules.
Is CaS a covalent compound?
Ca (calcium) is an element, not a compound. and it can only form ionic compounds.
Is sodium chloride a molecular or ionic crystal?
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound; the term "molecule" is not adequate because NaCl form large lattices.
Why do crystal lattices form?
A crystal lattice forms when ionic compounds form together. The different reactions of the elements are what form the crystal lattice.
The ions in solid sodium chloride are arranged in a structure called an what lattice?
Ionic compunds all form alttice structures, sometimes called ionic lattices, sometimes crystal lattices.
What group of substances do not usually form organized crystal lattices in solid state Ionic compounds metals polar covalent compounds or non-polar covalent compounds?
All of them can form organized crystal lattices.
How do metals and non metals bond?
Generally they form an ionic compound. Electrons are transferred from metal to non-metal fornig ions that form ionic lattices.
Why do you use the term formula mass instead of molecular mass for ionic compound?
It is impossible to know the mass of a large ionic lattice.
Does Fluorine Form Molecules or Crystal lattices or exist as a single atom?
Fluorine Form Molecules or Crystal lattices or exist as a single atom.
What is a repeating pattern of positive and negative ions held together?
An ionic solid. More specifically, the alternating positive and negative ions form an ionic lattice.
How ionic compound form crystal?
When positive ions and negative ions are nearby they are attracted and pair up building an Ionic Crystal.
What form do ionic compounds take?
Giant lattices.
Why are there no distinct molecules in an ionic compound?
There are distinct molecules in in substances that form an ionic compound, it is just that when they form an ionic compound (a crystal lattice structure) the pattern in the sturcture is the dominant feature rather than separate molecules.
Do ionic bonds always produce giant ionic lattices?
Yes. The nature of an ionic bond is that it is non-directional and therfore compounds form lattices rather than discrete molecules.
