Describe the process of ionization
electrons being transferred between atoms by gaining or losing of electrons
Define Electrostatic Forces
The forces opposing charged ions are being held together by
Define Noble Gases
Position in Periodic table ; Chemical reactivity
Noble gases are inert due to having a full octet or in case of He a full shell of electrons, they are found in group 18 and are stable therefore dont react
What are polyatomic atoms
Ions made up of more than one atom which have expiriences a loss/gain of electrons
Ions do not form when?
there is isolation
Main forces seen in ionic bonds
Electrostatic forces
oppositely charges ions being attracted to each other
Define Ionic Lattice
Three Dimensial crystalline structure formed by electrostatic forces in a compound
