Properties of Ionic Compounds

Science > Chemistry > Physical Chemistry > Nature of Chemical Bond > Properties of Ionic Compounds In this article, we shall study the properties of ionic compounds. Physical State: Due to strong electrostatic force present between the oppositely charged ions, they are held closer and fixed at specified positions in the crystal lattice. Hence ionic […]

Octet Theory

Science > Chemistry > Physical Chemistry > Nature of Chemical Bond > Octet Theory The force of attraction which keeps atoms or ions together in a molecule is called a Chemical bond. The main cause of chemical combination is the tendency to acquire stability i.e. a state with minimum energy and a tendency to acquire […]
