Lattice structure
2.2 Ions & Ionic Bonds
Ionic compounds have a giant lattice structure
Lattice structure refers to the arrangement of the atoms of a substance in
3D space 2.2.1 Ions & Ionic Bonds
In lattice structures, the atoms are arranged in an ordered and repeating
fashion
2.2.2 Ionic Bonds &
The lattices formed by ionic compounds consist of a regular arrangement

CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
Explanation
Exam Tip
When drawing dot and cross diagrams, you only need to show the
outer shell of electrons. Remember to draw square brackets and
include a charge for each ion. Make sure the overall charge is 0; you
may need to include more than one positive or negative ion to ensure
the positive and negative charges cancel each other out.
