Ionic Bonds

Ionic bonds stacked on top of each other form:

• Rock

• Lattices

• Powders

• Sheets

Why are ions attracted to each other?

• Cations and Anions have opposite charges.

• Cations think Anions are cool.

• The fact that both are metals allows them to mix.

• The ions change their electrons again.
