Giant structure
A huge 3D network of atoms or ions
lattice
Regular arrangement of particles.
Giant ionic lattice
A huge, 3D, regular structure of oppositely charged ions, held together by electrostatic forces.
Examples of Ionic compounds
NaCl, MgO
Ionic formula
the simplest whole number ratio of the ions in a giant ionic lattice
Covalent bond
A shared pair of electrons
Molecule
A group of two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds
Examples of giant covalent structures
Diamond, graphite, silicon dioxide
Limitations of dot and cross diagrams
Do not show the 3D shape of a molecule
Molecular formula
A chemical formula of a shows the kinds and numbers of atoms present in a molecule
