A giant ionic lattice is the result of ionic bonding between a metal and a non-metal atom. The metal atom transfers electrons to the non-metal atom, consequently oppositely charged ions are formed that are attracted to one another. This attraction then leads to the formation of an ionic bond.Potassium chloride, KI, is an example of a giant ionic lattice.

What is ionic compounds that absorb water into their solid structure form?
Ionic compounds form giant ionic structures. Such structures are also known as giant lattice structure or crystal lattice.
Why do ionic compounds have giant structures?
because ionic compounds can not get access through the cell membrane
what type of bonds form lattice structures?
Ionic bonded always. Also giant covalent structures- like diamond and silicon dioxide. It is NOT just ionic compounds!
Properties of compounds with giant ionic structures?
High melting point High Boiling point Conducts electricity when molten or dissolved Cant conduct electricity when solid Example Sodium chloride
What following types of compound can form giant structures ionic covalent metal?
the answer is 3
Two properties of compounds with giant ionic structures?
Sodium Chloride Magnesium Oxide

Do ionic bonds always produce giant ionic structures?
Yes, eg Na+ and Cl- ions produce an endless, three-dimensional matrix of salt. Note the ions in a giant ionic structure are closely packed together
Are silicon compounds ionic or covalent?
They are covalent. Some are simple molecules, others are giant covalent structures.
Why is salt square?
Salt is sodium chloride (NaCl), an ionic compound. Ionic compounds have giant lattice structures, which is why salt appears to be square-shaped.
Brittleness high melting point high boiling point are all properties of ionic compuonds within a?
Brittleness high melting and boiling point are properties of ionic compounds within structures. This is taught in biology.
Ionic bond is a simple or giant moleculas?
GIANT!!
