Ionic compounds are held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions.

3

In what directions do these forces of attraction act?

These forces act in all directions in the lattice and this is called ionic bonding.

Evaluate the ball and stick model.

  • shows the ions arrangements

  • doesn't show the relative sizes of the ions

  • no gaps between the ions in reality
