Ionic Bonding

Mr. Anderson explains ionic bonding, highlighting the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, forming cations and anions. Using sodium chloride as an example, he discusses the stability of ionic compounds, the role of Coulomb's Law, and the concept of lattice energy. The video also compares different ionic compounds, emphasizing the impact of ion size and charge on lattice energy and bond strength.

How does Coulomb's Law explain the stability of ionic solids?

Discuss how lattice energy is affected by the size and charge of ions.
