Ionic bonding refers to the electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. Ionic solids do not conduct electricity (they are insulators).
In solids, the bonding or attraction between molecules is much stronger compared to liquids and gases. This strong intermolecular force keeps the particles closely packed in a fixed arrangement, giving solids a definite shape and volume. The rigidity of these bonds restricts the movement of particles, resulting in low compressibility and high density. As a result, solids maintain their structure under varying conditions.
No, solids typically have stronger intermolecular forces compared to plasmas. In solids, particles are tightly packed and have strong interactions, such as van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding, whereas in plasmas, particles are highly energetic and ionized, resulting in weaker electrostatic interactions.
Iconic solids are primarily composed of ions arranged in a regular, repeating three-dimensional lattice structure. These solids are formed when cations and anions attract each other due to electrostatic forces, resulting in a stable configuration. The arrangement of these ions maximizes attraction while minimizing repulsion, leading to characteristic properties such as high melting points and electrical conductivity when dissolved in water or molten. Examples of iconic solids include sodium chloride (NaCl) and magnesium oxide (MgO).
In solids the attraction is stronger.
Electrostatic forces between charged particles in gases are typically stronger because the particles are more spread out and have fewer interactions compared to solids where the particles are closely packed. In gases, charged particles have more freedom to move around and interact at longer distances, leading to stronger electrostatic forces compared to the more tightly bound particles in solids.

The type of bonding that is more dominant in solids depends on the specific material. Examples of dominant bonding types in solids include covalent bonding in diamond, metallic bonding in metals, and ionic bonding in salt.
Ionic solids are formed through the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions. This attraction creates a strong electrostatic force that holds the ions together in a repeating pattern, forming a solid crystal lattice structure. This type of bonding typically occurs between a metal and a nonmetal.
Ionic solids are brittle and hard as they are bonded with electrostatic bonds.
An ionic bond can be defined as a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Crystal structure can be defined as a unique arrangement of atoms and molecules in crystalline liquid or solids,
Ionic bonds
Ionic compounds are hard solids because of the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the positively and negatively charged ions that make up the crystal lattice structure. These forces require a lot of energy to overcome, resulting in the solid structure being rigid and resistant to breaking or deformation.
No, solids typically have stronger intermolecular forces compared to plasmas. In solids, particles are tightly packed and have strong interactions, such as van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding, whereas in plasmas, particles are highly energetic and ionized, resulting in weaker electrostatic interactions.
Ionic solids are stabilized by strong electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions. This is known as ionic bonding, which involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another to create a stable arrangement of ions. These attractions are responsible for the high melting and boiling points of ionic solids.
No, gold and platinum are not ionic solids. They are metallic elements that form metallic bonds with delocalized electrons. Ionic solids are formed by the electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions.
Strong chemical bonds in solids are ionic bonds, covalent bonds in giant network molecules and metallic bonds. Weak bonds in solids holding discrete molecules together are hydrogen bonds in solid H2O, HF, NH3 Weak intermolecular forces including dispersion forces and permanent dipole interactions
Agree, because this repulsion of like electrostatic charges is an inherent property of such charges. However, the repulsive force can be exceeded by attractive, atomic level forces, such as those that form atomic nuclei from many protons, or by attractive electrostatic forces between opposite charges, as occurs in metallic bonding and ionic solids.
