What type of bond is associated with the crystal lattice?

Answer 1

This is a poorly phrased question.

Ionic bonds, such as NaCl (table salt) can be crystalline.

Covalent bonds, such as SiO2, SiO4, and diamond are crystalline.

Metallic bonds are typically crystalline.

Answer 2

Ionic bonds are associated with the crystal lattice in ionic compounds. Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, creating positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by electrostatic attraction in a repeating lattice structure.

Answer 3

The answer is that crystals can have a variety of different bonds! A crystal is formed of regular repeating units- nature doesn't care about the chemical bonds involved.

Firstly - ionic crystals, well known example common salt NaCl- consisting of electrically charged particles, "ions", Na+ and Cl-. (this is the answer some teachers expect.)

Secondly giant covalent molecules - nice example diamond- pure carbon joined by covalent bonds

Thirdly

Crystals can form from molecular substances- it can be difficult- but with care it can often be achieved- when definitive l X-Ray structure is determined - a lot of work often goes into producing a single crystal a single crystal of the substance. this is the method used to accurately show the structure of molecules in the solid state.

Answer 4

ionic bonds. not metallic or covalent bonds.

Metallic bonds are in a metallic lattic and covalent bonds are in a covalent lattice.

ionic bonds are in an ionic crystal lattice.

The above may be a view but most chemists would say that ionic, covalent or metallic bonds are associated with a crystal lattice. Crystal structures can be determined for all crystalline compounds which can be covalent, ionic or metals.

Answer 5

The kind of bond that produces crystalline lattices is an ionic bond. It is the complete transfer of valence electrons between atoms and commonly occurs in salts.

Answer 6

generally ionic bonds.However covalent bond also form when it is a good packing,eg.diamond

Answer 7

These characteristics are produced by an ionic bond. Perhaps metallic bonds among many atoms of a metal can also have crystalline structures and high melting points.

Answer 8

the atoms have big asses so do crystals

Answer 9

ionic bonds
