Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

The shape of an ionic crystal depends on the arrangement of ____ in its lattice.

A	Electrons
B	Cations
C	Anions
D	Neutrons
E	None of the answer selections of this question

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The shape of an ionic crystal depends on the arrangement of ions in its rigid framework, or lattice. Crystals are classified into groups based on their shape. The properties of an ionic compound can be explained by the strong attractions among ions within a crystal lattice.

Detailed explanation-2: -The overall arrangement of ions in a crystal is called a lattice. The simplest ionic arrangements occur when two ions of equal but opposite charge come together in a ratio of one to one. Sodium chloride, NaCl, is an example of the simplest type of ionic arrangement.

Detailed explanation-3: -The value of lattice energy depends on the charges present on the two ions and the distance between them.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ionization energy: Electron affinity: Lattice energy:
