The force of attraction between the opposite charges of the ions in an ionic compound
Madhur L.
Does the strength of an ion-ion attraction depend on the number of ions in the compound? Explain your answer.
The ionic compound $A B$ is formed. The charges on the ions may be +1,$-1 ;+2,-2 ;+3,-3 ;$ or even larger. What are the factors that determine the charge for an ion in an ionic compound?
