Interpretation:
The true and false statements about the ionic solid to be predicted
Concept Introduction:
Formation of ions:
Atom possesses equal number of protons and electrons and remains electrically neutral. By gaining (accepting electrons) or losing (donating electrons) one or more electrons, convert the neutral atom into a charged particle called IONS.
Ionic solids:
Solid ionic compounds are characterized by strong intermolecular force of attraction between the oppositely charged particles and least intermolecular distance. The arrangement of ions is in regular pattern and due to this strong force, exhibits definite shape and volumes.
