| It can only react very slowly with materials other than those containing ionic bonds. |
|
| Natural nacre also benefits from so-called sacrificial ionic bonds between proteins, which break under stress but can reform. |
|
| Remember that ionic bonds are normally strong but very weak in water. |
|
| The two extremes of molecular bonding are ionic bonds and covalent bonds. |
|
| Aluminum in sixfold coordination may form ionic bonds with the SiO4 tetrahedrons. |
|
| A third type are ionic bonds, in which the bonding electron pair is donated by only one atom. |
|
| In ceramics the ionic bonds holding the atoms together do not allow for free electrons. |
|
| Here, the particles are held together by ionic bonds, each ion being surrounded by several oppositely charged ions within the inner structure of the solid. |
|
| Organometallic compounds range in polar power from methylpotassium, in which the bond is almost like certain ionic bonds, to lead, which bonds with carbon with very little polarization. |
|
| These bonds may be of variable strength: weak bonds such as hydrogen bonds can be distinguished from the stronger ionic bonds and sulphur bridges. |
|
| Metal ions form ionic bonds between the sheets. |
|
| Ionomers are thermoplastics with reversible crosslinks, created by ionic bonds that link polymer chains together as the melt cools, but unlink again when remelted. |
|
| Ionic bonds are most often formed between atoms of metals and atoms of non-metals. |
