3. crystal structure we can see from several types of bonds, one of its ionic bonds on sodium
chloride.answer
a. Ionic, as in sodium chloride
Such ionic crystals of sodium chloride are formed by the tensile forces between
positively charged and negative ions. the arrangement of ions in the most stable crystalline ions
is the arrangement with the number of contacts between the largest opposite charged particles, or
in other words a large coordination number. however, the cation size differs from the size of the
anion, and consequently there is a greater tendency of anions to be composite, and smaller
cations will reside between the anions.
