A compound held together by ionic bonds is?
releases ions into the substances
How are ionic substances held together?
Ionic substances are held together ionic bonds, which are the electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions.
How are ions held together in an ionic bond?
They are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds

Are ions in magnesium fluoride held together loosely or tightly?
very tightly
Why are ions in sodium chloride cystals held tight together?
Between the ions Na+ and Cl- an electrostatic attraction occur.
How are ions held together in an ionic bond?
They are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds
If a metal loses electrons to a non metal during a chemical reaction the metal and non metal become ions What is the charge on the different ions and why are the ions held together?
The charge on each of the ions formed depends on the specific elements involved. The ions are then held together by the electrostatic attraction between the opposite charges (positive and negative) (called an ionic bond).
What compounds is held together by electrostatic force between two ions?
A ionic compound
How are ionic bonds held together?
Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
What type of attractive force or bond holds the sodium ions and chloride ions together in a crystal of sodium chloride?
They are held together by an electrostatic force causing an ionic bond.
What is the result of an ionic bond?
Two ions held together by electromagnetic forces like NaCl.
The atoms in salt are held together by?
Electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
