the same for all surrounding atoms of the same type
usually have multiple nearest neighbours
Oxidation state is what determines the number of each atom. This is in the ionic formula.
No. The chemical formula of an ionic compound is a formula unit and represents the lowest whole number ratio of ions in the compound. Ionic compounds are not made of molecules.
The formula unit for an ionic compound is similar to an empirical formula in that both give the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.
It is a formula unit.
The formula is not ionic or covalent, the compound itself is.
Oxidation state is what determines the number of each atom. This is in the ionic formula.
an empirical formula For an ionic compound, the empirical formula is called a formula unit.

The formula unit for an ionic compound is similar to an empirical formula in that both give the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.
What you write for an ionic compound is called the formula unit, but the formula unit is almost always the same as the empirical formula. The answer to your question could not be the molecular formula because an ionic compound is not a molecule.
It is a formula unit.
