Topic: Ionic Bond

1. Ionic Bond: A type of chemical bond that involves the transfer of electrons from one
atom to another, resulting in the formation of ions.
2. Cation: A positively charged ion that is formed when an atom loses one or more
electrons.
3. Anion: A negatively charged ion that is formed when an atom gains one or more
electrons.
4. Electrovalence: The number of electrons that an atom gains or loses in order to form an
ion.
5. Ionic Compound: A compound that is made up of ions held together by electrostatic
forces.
6. Lattice Energy: The energy required to break apart an ionic compound into its constituent
ions.
7. Coulomb's Law: The law that describes the electrostatic attraction between two charged
particles, which is proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional
to the distance between them.
8. Born-Haber Cycle: A series of steps that describe the formation of an ionic compound
from its constituent elements.
9. Coordination Number: The number of ions that surround an ion in a crystal lattice.
10. Solubility: The ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent, which is influenced by the
strength of the ionic bonds in the substance.
11. Properties of Ionic Compounds: Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points,
are brittle and hard, conduct electricity when molten or in solution, and form crystals.

These are just a few of the topics covered in Class 12 Ionic Bond. Other topics include ionization
energy, electron affinity, and lattice defects.
