Question

ionic compounds do not exist as discreet units of a single pair of ions but rather exists as an extended arrangement of many tightly bound ions in a

a one - dimensional linear arrangement
three - dimensional lattice structure
a four dimensional quantum continuum
two - dimensional spacial arrangement

question 14
1 pts
the force of attraction holding oppositely charged ions together is the result of ____________ between the ions and is known as an ionic bond.
weak nuclear attraction
strong electrostatic attraction
strong forces of gravity
strong magnetic attraction

Explanation:

Ionic compounds form a three - dimensional lattice structure due to the strong electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions. These forces are the result of the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions, known as ionic bonds.

Answer:

Question 1: B. three - dimensional lattice structure
Question 2: B. strong electrostatic attraction
