Why is copper pliable but copper sulfate not pliable?
Copper is a simple metal. It is held togeth by metallic bonds. In this setup, positively charged copper ions sit in a mutually shared "pool" of electrons. The ions are essentially held together by their attraction to these electrons. Since these electrons are free to move throughout the metal, the copper is not limited to any rigid form. Copper sulfate is a salt, consisting of positively charged copper ions and negatively charged sulfate ions. This forms a definite crystal lattice, with the ions arranged into a rigid, repeating structure. When you apply enough force to the crystal, you will force the positive and negative ions out of alignment along a portion of the structure. When this happens the bonds between the ions, which depended on this alignment, break and the crystal fractures or cleaves.
The pattern of ions tgat form a crystal is called the?
The pattern of ions that form a crystal is called the a ionic lattice. This is an icon solid.
Atoms that have an electrical charge due to a gain or loss of electrons are called what?
Ions. Cations have lost electrons and have a positive charge. Anions have gained electrons and have a negative charge.
Negative ions form when atoms-blank-valence electrons?
Negative ions form when atoms GAIN valence electrons.
What is the net charge ions in Sodium?
A crystal of salt consists of electrons and positive ions. How does the net charge of the electrons compare with the net charge of the ions
What are Ions that are deficient in electrons?
Ions that are deficient in electrons are
Are crystal always formed by ions?
No, not all crystals are formed by ions. Some crystals are formed by covalent bonds, where atoms share electrons, rather than by the attraction of ions. Additionally, some crystals can be formed by metallic bonds, where electrons are delocalized among a lattice of metal atoms.

The bond between opositive charge ions is?
the bond is metallic bond where it joins metals in a crystal lattice, the atoms occupy lattice positions as positive ions, and valence electrons are shared between all the ions in an 'electron gas'.
Which ions does not have 18 electrons?
Ions with 18 electrons are exceptions (ex.: Cl-).
When atoms gain or lose electrons they become negatively or positively charged They are known as?
It is called an Ion either a cation where electrons are lost or anion where electrons are gained

How ionic compound form crystal?
When positive ions and negative ions are nearby they are attracted and pair up building an Ionic Crystal.
Why is p region in p-n junction has negative ions?
It doesn't actually have negative ions, it has majority holes that have recombined with minority electrons, just as the n region has majority electrons that have recombined with minority holes. In both cases are charges are distributed over adjacent atoms and no atom actually becomes either a negative or positive ion.
Atoms that have an electrical charge due to a gain or loss of electrons are called what?
Ions. Cations have lost electrons and have a positive charge. Anions have gained electrons and have a negative charge.
What will happen to the copper sulfate crystal in the test tube filled with distilled water for two hours?
Copper atoms will dissolve into the water, giving off electrons at the anode. At the cathode, the copper ions will be deposited on the electrode and acquire electrons.
