Yes.
Ionic compounds are strongly attracted by the electrostatic forces that bring 2 oppositely charged atoms together. One single positive ion will attract 4 negative ions and bond to it on all 4 sides (top,down,left,right). The negative ions will likewise do the same. In the end, the whole structure formed will resemble a neat compact lattice. The process is continuous, provided there is always a supply of ions. The lattice will then keep expanding.

How do ionic bonds and ionic compounds differ from covenant bonds and molecules?
Ionic bonds is the attracting between opposing forces (positive and negative) while covalent bonds are atoms sharing electrons to get an inert gas configuration (8 electrons in valence shell). Covalent bonds exist as discrete molecules while ionic compounds do not exist as discrete molecules and form large crystal lattices.
How is convalent compound different from an ionic compound?
Covalent bonds are different from ionic bonds because ionic bonds involve the sharing of electrons. Ionic bonds are also electrically conductive.
How are Ionic bonds are formed between atoms that have large differences in?
Ionic bonds are formed between atoms with large differences in electronegativity, where one atom has a strong tendency to attract electrons from the other atom. This results in the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, creating positively charged cations and negatively charged anions that are then attracted to each other by electrostatic forces, forming an ionic bond.
Is sicI4 ionic bond?
Yes, SiCl4 forms ionic bonds. Silicon (Si) is a metalloid that can exhibit both covalent and ionic bonding. In SiCl4, silicon forms ionic bonds with chlorine (Cl) due to the large electronegativity difference between the two elements.
Does plutonium usually form ionic covalent or polar covalent bonds?
Plutonium typically forms covalent bonds in compounds. These covalent bonds are usually polar due to the large electronegativity difference between plutonium and other atoms it bonds with.
Which type of bond forms compounds with distinctive shapes rather than forming massive crystals?
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)
What is the dot configuration of NaCl?
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond and form large lattices.
Are ionic bonds usually polar?
Poar in the sense that they involve charges and therefore dissolve in polar solvents. . However polar in the sense that there is a dipole moment No- there are no molecule just large lattices.
How can you describe the structure of sodium chloride?
Ionic. When solid: crystalic ion latice
Is sodium chloride a molecular or ionic crystal?
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound; the term "molecule" is not adequate because NaCl form large lattices.

How is convalent compound different from an ionic compound?

What happens to the pairs of NaCl after bonding?
They form sodium chloride, a chemical compound; the formula unit is NaCl. This is not a true molecule because ionic compounds forms large lattices.
Sodium chloride is what type of compound?
Sodium chloride is an inorganic salt, very soluble in water, with ionic bods, forming large lattices, transparent crystals etc.
What is the classification for NaCl?
Sodium chloride is an inorganic compound, a salt, an ionic compound forming large lattices, very soluble in water, indispensable for life, with transparent crystals etc.
Why are ionic substances not made up of molecules?
Because molecule was originally defined as a cluster of two or more atoms held together by a covalent bond. So it's not accurate if we say it molecules of ionic compounds. The true sentence is polyatomic ions.
NaCl polar or non polar?
NaCl is an ionic compound, certainly not nonpolar.
