The Strength of Ionic Bonding
The Strength of Ionic Bonding
Ionic compounds form giant ionic lattices. These are highly ordered 3D structures where positive and negative ions are held together by strong, multi-directional electrostatic attractions.
Step-by-step lessons on OCR A A Level Chemistry Lattice enthalpy. 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.
