ionic solids
The right bonds
Electronegativity values are a useful tool to predict what kind of bonds will form.
No
Salt and Sugar are common examples of crystalline solids. Ionic bonds in molecules generally produce crystals.
Crystals can form from both covalent and ionic compounds. Covalent crystals are held together by covalent bonds, where atoms share electrons to form a stable structure. Ionic crystals are held together by ionic bonds, where oppositely charged ions attract each other to form a lattice structure.
The ionic bonds will form a lattice network
Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
hydrogen bonds
Ionic compunds which are crystalline- have ionic bonds. Giant covalent can also be crystalline e.g. diamond and silica- these have covalent bonds. Molecular compounds crystallise - these have covalent bonds and the crystals are held together by van der waals forces. and sometimes by hydrogen bonds.
Salts typically form ionic solids, which are made up of positive and negative ions held together by ionic bonds. These solids have a crystal lattice structure and are typically hard and brittle.
Covalent bond. Molecular compounds are formed by covalent bonds. Ionic bonds and metallic bonds form large crystal lattices (Some large crystals are covalent- like diamond)
No, ionic bonds do not form molecules. Ionic bonds result from the transfer of electrons between atoms to form ions, leading to the formation of an ionic compound rather than a molecule. This results in a lattice structure rather than discrete molecules.
