Question

ionic solids are often very strong materials, such as minerals and rocks that are used to construct large buildings. contributing to their strength is the coulombic effect. what is the fundamental property of ionic solids that results in large or strong coulombic effects? bonds are formed between metals and nonmetals. bonds are formed between large and small atoms. they have many positive and negative charged ions. dont test me yet, i am trying to gain an understanding before attempting to answer this question.

Explanation:

Ionic solids have strong Coulombic effects due to the presence of many positively and negatively charged ions. These ions are held together by ionic bonds which form between metals and non - metals.

Answer:

They have many positive and negative charged ions.
