Ionic compounds form what is known as a lattice structure. This is a regular arrangement of metal and non-metal ions which creates compounds with very high melting points which conduct when molten ...

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.

Charged amino acid side chains can form ionic bonds ... into unique three-dimensional shapes. Bonding within protein molecules helps stabilize their structure, and the final folded forms of ...
