Key Concepts

Ionic Bonds

Ionic bonds are the electrostatic forces of attraction between positively and negatively charged ions. These bonds are responsible for the formation of the crystal lattice in ionic compounds and directly affect the magnitude of the lattice energy, as stronger attractions between ions result in higher lattice energies.

Lattice Energy

Lattice energy is the energy released when gaseous ions combine to form an ionic solid or, conversely, the energy required to separate a crystalline ionic compound into its gaseous ions. It is a measure of the strength of the forces holding the ions together in the crystal lattice and is influenced by the charges and sizes of the ions involved.
