Study Notes
Ionic Solids
- Large numbers of ions gathering together form a crystalline solid, known as an ionic solid.
Structure of Ionic Solids
- Ionic solids normally have a regular, crystalline structure.
Properties of Ionic Solids
- The regular, crystalline structure of the ionic solid allows for a rigid and brittle arrangement of ions, which contributes to its hardness and brittleness.
