1.36 describe an ionic crystal as a giant three-dimensional lattice structure held together by the attraction between oppositely charged ions

An ionic crystal is a lattice of electrons in a 3D structure, the ions are alternate positive and negative and their opposing charges hold the structure together.

  1. Thankyou so much for writing this blog, I've used it in the run up of every single science exam throughout my GCSEs. Recommended it to my teacher and now my school recommends it to all the students. Thanks a lot!
