Ionic bond
Force that holds Oppositely charged particles in an ionic compound
Ionic compounds
Compounds that contain ionic bonds
Crystal lattice
3-d geometric arrangement of particles
Electrolyte
Ionic compound whose aqueous solution conducts an elective current
Lattice energy
Energy required to separate 1 mol of the ions of an ionic compound
Formula unit
Chemical formula for ionic compound
Monatomic ion
One-atom ion. Indicates charge
Oxidation number
Charge of monatomic ion
Polyatomic ions
Ions made up of more than one ion
Oxyanion
Polyatomic ion composed of an element, usually non-metal, bonded to more than one atom
Electron sea model
States all metal ions in a metallic state contribute their valence electrons to form a “sea”
Delocalized electrons
Atoms in a bond that easily move
Metallic bond
Attraction if a metallic cation for delocalized electrons
