Remember that ionic bonds are normally strong but very weak in water. |
It can only react very slowly with materials other than those containing ionic bonds. |
In ceramics the ionic bonds holding the atoms together do not allow for free electrons. |
The two extremes of molecular bonding are ionic bonds and covalent bonds. |
A third type are ionic bonds, in which the bonding electron pair is donated by only one atom. |
Metal ions form ionic bonds between the sheets. |
