Draw a dot and cross diagram to show the arrangement of outer electrons in each of the ions in magnesium chloride, MgCl₂
How can atoms get a full outer shell?
Either the transfer (ionic) or sharing (covalent) of electrons
Explain the term ionic bond
An ionic bond is the strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
Describe the structure of an ionic compound, e.g NaCl.
A giant structure held together by the attraction between oppositely charged ions
