Giant ionic lattices
Giant ionic lattices
An ionic compound is a giant structure of positive and negative ions arranged in a regular, repeating three-dimensional pattern. It is called a giant ionic lattice because the pattern extends throughout the solid.
Step-by-step lessons covering AQA GCSE Chemistry 2.1.3 Ionic compounds for Foundation and Higher tier. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1 and Paper 2 format. Nail the core quantitative topics — moles, balancing equations and calculations — early on, since they underpin higher-tier questions across every paper and topic.
