What is AgF?
Silver ions and Fluoride ions put together.
How are particles in a piece of metal held together?
Metals are held together by metallic bonds. Metallic bonds consist of the attraction of the free-floating valence electrons for the positively charged metal ions. These bonds are the forces of attraction that hold metals together. Metals are made up of closely packed cations rather than neutral atoms. The valence electrons of metal atoms can be modeled as a sea of electrons. The valence electrons are mobile and can drift freely from one part of the metal to another. Metallic bonds consist of the attraction of the free-floating valence electrons for the positively charged metal ions. These bonds are the forces of attraction that hold metals together.
Which of the following has the most difficulty forming ions?
the compounds that are stable and have strong intermolecular forces of attraction will have much difficulty in the formation of ions... they will show least degree of decomposition at very high temperature,, as water at 2000 degree celsius..
What is the charge on the ion typically formed by each element?
Metals tend to form cations, or ions with a positive charge. Nonmetals tend to form anions, or ions with a negative charge. Remember that ions form to put the element in noble gas configuration with 8 valence electrons. Elements forming ions will take the most direct addition or subtraction of electrons to achieve this.
Ions that are made of more than one atom are examples of what?
Ions made up of more than one atom are called polyatomic ions.
What forces holds ions together?
electrostatic forces-apex
What type of force holds ions together in salts such as CaF2?
ionic forces
Bond that holds ions together?
Yes,bonds hold ions together through strong electrostatic forces between the cations and anions.(in ionic bonds).
What is an structure?
ions are the smallest particles in the molecule. these ions are attached by some attraction forces .by these forces they hold together

What holds ions together in a crystal?
sodium :)
An interaction that holds atoms or ions together.?
Covalent bonds in ions or electric attraction.
A force that holds atoms or ions together as a unit?
Chemical Bond
What holds the ions together in galena?
The strength of the ionic bonds and the attraction among all the ions.
What type of bond is the electrostatic force that holds ions together?
Ionic bonds
What force holds together ions in a salt?
Salts are formed only between metals and non metals..eg NaClthese are bounded by strong ionic bond which holds ions in a salt..!!
Attraction that holds positive and negative ions together?
This is electrostatic attraction, that tends to bring together electrical charges with different sign. Ions do not collapse one into the other since when the get to near, repulsion between external electrons orbitals counterbalance the electrostatic force created by the net ions charge.
