Key Terms in Ionic Compounds and Bonds by ang3lwings is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Ionic compounds are formed when atoms gain or lose valence electrons to form ions that are held together by electrostatic attraction. Key terms include alloys, which are mixtures of metals and nonmetals; chemical formulas that show the ratio and types of atoms in a substance; and coordination number, which is the number of opposite charge ions surrounding each ion in a crystal structure. Ionic compounds are electrically neutral solids that can conduct electricity when molten or dissolved in water.
