Yes. The nature of an ionic bond is that it is non-directional and therfore compounds form lattices rather than discrete molecules.

What type of structures do metallic bonds create?

Metallic bonds create structures in which metal atoms are arranged in a closely packed and orderly manner. The metal atoms share their outer electrons with neighboring atoms, resulting in a delocalized "sea" of electrons that allows for high electrical and thermal conductivity, malleability, and ductility in metals.


Temperature differences between the equator and the poles produce giant what?

A giant star is always what?

A giant star is always larger and more massive than our sun. It is in a later stage of its life cycle where it has exhausted its core hydrogen fuel and has expanded.


What is element with giant structures?

simple molecules are bonds between non-metals and elements, or in some cases, non-metals and non-metals. Things like Water, CO2, I2 are simple moleculars. The single molecules of simple moleculars are held together through covalent bonds, the intermolecular forces that hold together many bonds are weaker, thus simple moleculars have low melting/boiling points. Giant Metallics are bonds between metals, such as Zinc Magnesium, and have strong bonds among and between atoms, with high melting/boiling points and ability to conduct electricity.


What type of bond is carbon?

Carbon typically forms covalent bonds, where it shares electrons with other atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration. Carbon can also form ionic bonds in certain situations, where it gains or loses electrons to bond with other atoms.

What kind of chemical bond produces cry stalline lattices?

Ionic bonds: Ionic solids, Covalent bonds in giant covalent molecules such as diamond, silicon dioxide Metallic bonds- metals Crystal lattices are just a regular arrangement of atoms/molecules. They are not unique to any one form of bonding.


Do ionic bonds always produce giant ionic structures?

No, ionic bonds do not always produce giant ionic structures. In some cases, compounds with ionic bonds can form small molecules or molecular crystals, especially when the cations and anions are small or have similar sizes.


What kind of chemical bond produces crystalline lattices?

Any type of bonding can result in crystalline lattices. A crystal is a highly ordered arrangement of particles. The forces holding the particles together can differ, but as long as the solid forms slowly enough, the particles can line themselves up into a lattice.Ionic bonding can produce crystals such as copper sulfate.Covalent bonding can produce molecular crystals such as iodine or giant covalent lattices such as diamond.Metallic bonding can produce crystals of metals, though for practical reasons mostly we make sure the metals we use every day contain only very tiny ones.Ionic bond is the chemical bond that makes crystalline lattices. This is taught during science.

Why is NaCl not a molecule?

Because sodium chloride form giant lattices without a limit between molecules.


What is a giant covalent lattice?

Giant covalent, lattice structures contain a lot of non-metal atoms, each joined to adjacent atoms by covalent bonds. The atoms are usually arranged into giant regular lattices. The structure requires an element with very strong bonds between the atoms to create various materials. A couple of examples are (carbon) Diamond and Buckminster Fullerine. Graphite is also one but has weak bonds as well. Silica and molybdenum can also make covalent lattice structures.


What is it called when an atom on left hand side of the periodic table forms a bond with one on the right hand side?

Atoms on the left are metals; atoms on the right are non-metals. When a metal bonds with a non-metal, an ionic compound is formed. Ionic compounds are not molecules but giant crystal lattices.


Ionic bond is a simple or giant moleculas?

An ionic bond typically forms between a metal and a nonmetal, resulting in the transfer of electrons. It can lead to the formation of giant ionic lattices where millions of ions are arranged in a repeating three-dimensional pattern.


What following types of compound can form giant structures ionic covalent metal?

Ionic compounds can form giant structures, such as ionic lattices, due to the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions. Similarly, covalent compounds, like diamond or silicon dioxide, can form giant structures through the sharing of electrons between atoms. Metal compounds can also form giant structures, known as metallic lattices, due to the delocalization of electrons among metal atoms.

Is water a giant covalent structure?

No, water is not a giant covalent structure. Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds, which are much weaker than the covalent bonds typically found in giant covalent structures like diamond or graphite.
