a crystal.
It's a crystal lattice or lattice structure
crystal lattice means atoms of the lattice are arranged in a regular manner and every atom or ion in the structure have same property with the remaining atoms or ions in the structure
An orderly pattern of ions or atoms in a solid is a crystal.
The attraction between ions creates ionic compounds. These compounds involve ions being bonded in a structure in a lattice-like structure.
metal lattice
What is the Lattice Structure
crystal lattice means atoms of the lattice are arranged in a regular manner and every atom or ion in the structure have same property with the remaining atoms or ions in the structure
Yes. The structure of salt is an ionic lattice of NaCl. This lattice dissociates in water to produce Na+ and Cl- ions.
This structure is called a large lattice.
A metallic lattice consists of positive ions in a 'sea' of outershell negative electrons which are delocalised and mobile through the metal structure. The lattice is held together by strong forces of attraction between the mobile electrons and the positive ions.
This structure is called a large lattice.
