AN attempt 1 to resolve misunderstandings regarding ionic-covalent bonding in solids has been criticized in a recent article by Mooser and Pearson 2. It should be pointed out, however, that their ...

The lattice arrangement continues in three dimensions. This is why solid ionic compounds form crystals with regular shapes.

A small piece of sodium metal is placed in a flask of chlorine gas. A little water helps expose the sodium so it can react with the chlorine gas. The reaction releases a lot of heat as the ionic ...
