The bond strength is equal in all directions around an ion.
What must be the nearest neighbors of positive ions in a stable ionic material?
Negatively charged ions
What range do bonding energies generally fall within for ionic materials?
600-1500 kJ/mol
Which materials are typified by interatomic bonding and are characteristically hard and brittle?
Ceramics
What properties of ceramic materials are a direct consequence of electron configurations and/or the nature of the ionic bond?
Hard and brittle, electrically and thermally insulative
This quiz covers concepts related to ionic bonding in materials, including the repulsive energy equation and the significance of directional bonding in maintaining stability. Explore the relationship between positive and negative ions in creating a stable three-dimensional structure.
