What is ionic bonding (SEFABOCI)?
Strong Electrostatic Forces of Attraction Between Oppositely Charged Ions
What do giant ionic lattices have?
High melting and boiling points because a lot of energy is required to break the strong electrostatic forces
Ionic compounds
Do not conduct electricity when solid, but do when molten or in aqueous solution
