I can describe how metal and non-metal ions bond together to form giant ionic structures.
Show transcript
Salts form ionic structures because they contain metal and non-metal ions.
In an ionic structure each positive ion attracts the negative ions and vice-versa.
Metal ions attract all non-metal ions and vice-versa, they bond to the opposite charged ions that are closest.
An ionic bond is the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely-charged ions acting in all directions.
Ionic substances are 3D lattices with regular arrangements of ions ( in a repeating pattern of +ve and -ve charge).
