Ionic bond
What is -Solid held together by electrostatic attractions between ions that are next to one another in a lattice structure.
-Often occur between metals and nonmetals.
-Electrons are NOT shared.
-One atom gives up electrons and becomes a positively charged ion while the other accecpts electrons and becomes a negatively charged ion.
-Due to Coulomb's law, an ionic bond between +2 and -2 is stronger than +1 and -1 charges.
-The smaller the ions in an atomic bond, the stronger the bond because a small electronic radius allows charges to get closer together and increases the force between them.
-Each electron is localized around a particular atom, so electrons don't move around the lattice, making these solids poor conductors of electricity
-These liquids do conduct electricity because the ions themselves are free to move about in the liquid phase.
-Hold salts together
