give the charecterstics of ionic cycle
Answers
charecter for ionic cycle :
i. The constituent particles of ionic crystals are charged ions. The cations and anions may differ in size.
ii. Each ion of a given sign of charge is
bonded to ions of opposite charge around it by coulomb force. In other words, the particles of ionic crystals are held by electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
iii. Ionic crystals are hard and brittle. They
have high melting points.
iv. These are nonconductors of electricity
in solid state. However, they are good conductors when melted or dissolved in wate
Answer:
Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond in which valence electrons are lost from one atom and gained by another. This exchange results in a more stable, noble gas electronic configuration for both atoms involved. An ionic bond is based on attractive electrostatic forces between two ions of opposite charge.
