In this lecture we will discuss ionic bonding which happens when electrons are lost and gained by two or more atoms. When atoms lose electrons they become positive ions. When atoms gain electrons they become negative ions. Ionic bonds are formed between metals and non - metals. Properties of ionic compounds: -They form giant ionic lattices. Conduct electricity when iin molten or aqueous state. Both these processes allow ions to move from place to place. Ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity in the solid state because their ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move. Since the electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions are strong, their melting and boiling points are high. -They dissolve in water to some extent.
