Many compounds have lattice structures. A lattice is just a long repeated structure. This is evident in salts, such as NaCl, but can be present many other compounds. Other examples are Diamond, SiO2 (quartz), and ice.

What is the formula ionic compound for Mg and As?
Apparently this compound is not ionic in structure. The attached link refers to "cubic lattice containing two molecules of Mg3As2 in the unit cell."
Why are there no distinct molecules in an ionic compound?
There are distinct molecules in in substances that form an ionic compound, it is just that when they form an ionic compound (a crystal lattice structure) the pattern in the sturcture is the dominant feature rather than separate molecules.
Are ions in a ionic compound in a lattice formation?
At least, one anion and one cation participate in forming a crystalline ionic lattice. Every ionic compound forms a lattice, they do not form molecules.
What are crystal lattices?
crystal lattice means atoms of the lattice are arranged in a regular manner and every atom or ion in the structure have same property with the remaining atoms or ions in the structure
What is the bond between sodium and chlorine in the compound sodium chloride NaCl is?
It is called an ionic bond. NaCl existas a giant ionic structure in a crystal lattice.
What is the structure of an ionic compound called?
crystal lattice
What is the physical structure of an ionic compound called?
crystal lattice
What is the atomic arrangement of salt?
It is an ionic compound - arranged in a giant lattice structure.
What is the formula ionic compound for Mg and As?
Apparently this compound is not ionic in structure. The attached link refers to "cubic lattice containing two molecules of Mg3As2 in the unit cell."
How does the crystalline structure of a metal differ from the structure of an ionic compound such as sodium chloride or cesium chloride?
The metal's cubic lattice is made of only one kind of atom.
What is an an orderly three dimensional arrangement formed by ions called?
a crystal.
What tipe of crystal is sodium chloride?
Yes it is a crystal. It is a lattice compound.
