Ionic lattice - Arrangement of positive and negative ions, High melting point - Strong electrostatic aAttraction between positive and negative ions, Conduct when molten or dissolved - Ions free to move and carry charge, Do not conduct as solids - Ions fixed in position, Positive ions - Formed by losing electrons, Negative ions - Formed by gaining electrons, Low boiling point - Weak forces between molecules, Do not conduct in any state - Molecules have no overall charge, Metallic bond - Strong attraction between positive ions and delocalised electrons, Conduct in any state - Delocalised electrons are free to carry charge through the structure, 2+ ion - Formed by loss of 2 electrons, 3- ion - Formed by gain of 3 electrons, Reduction - Gain of electrons, Oxidation - Loss of electrons,
