Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are a group of 17 chemically similar elements that are critical in various high-tech applications, including electronics, renewable energy technologies, and advanced ...
This video explains ionic bonding. An ionic compound is made up of charged particles, called ions. It has a giant lattice structure, with strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
Ionic bonds are formed between a metal and non-metal, for example, sodium chloride. Outer electrons are transferred from the metal to the non-metal. Sodium will lose an electron and form a ...
