Ionic Bonding and Giant Lattices

Ionic Bonding and Giant Lattices

Ionic bonding is the strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. This type of bonding occurs when metal atoms transfer outer-shell electrons to non-metal atoms. Metals lose electrons to form positive cations, while non-metals gain electrons to form negative anions.

Step-by-step lessons on OCR A A Level Chemistry Bonding and structure. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build confidence with atomic structure, bonding and moles calculations early on, since these underpin the more demanding organic mechanisms, equilibrium and practical-analysis topics that dominate Year 2.
