ionic compounds

Cards (10)

millions of ions packed together in a regular cubic arrangement joined by ionic bonds
what do millions of ions form
a ionic lattice: giant 3d structure
what do ionic lattice continue to do
they continue to build till there are no ions left
when metal atoms become positive ions what happens to the electrons
loses electrons
when non-metal atoms become negative ions what happens to the electrons
gains electrons
what is an ionic bond
strong electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions
how do oxidation and reduction happen
together
what is oxidation
lose of electrons
what is reduction
gain of electrons
how can i remember oxidation and reduction
OILRIG:
