crystal lattice
crystal lattice
The specific way in which atoms are arranged in an ionic compound is called the crystal lattice structure. This structure consists of positively and negatively charged ions arranged in a repeating pattern to maximize attraction and minimize repulsion.
This is an ionic compound, for example a salt as potassium chloride.
The ionic compound CuCO is called copper(I) carbonate.
The ionic compound Ca3As2 is called calcium arsenide.
The ionic compound CuF2 is called copper(II) fluoride.
The ionic compound CoCl2 is called cobalt(II) chloride.
The ionic compound Pb3N2 is called lead (II) nitride.
This is called ionic bond.
Yes, ions in an ionic compound are arranged in a regular, repeating three-dimensional structure called a lattice. This lattice structure is held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction between positively and negatively charged ions.
CaCl2 is an ionic compound. It is composed of a metal (calcium) and a non-metal (chlorine) bonded together through ionic bonding, forming a crystal lattice structure.
The ionic compound AlN is called aluminum nitride.
