Concept Introduction:
An ion is a charged species formed from an atom when an atom loses or gains electron. Ions are two types – cation and anion. Cation is positively charged ion as it is formed by loss of electron. Anion is negatively charged ion and electron rich as it is formed by gaining electron.
Ionic compounds are made of such oppositely charged ions held together by electrostatic force of attraction, which is termed as ionic bond.
The energy released when gaseous state ions of unlike charges that are infinitely farther apart combine to form a stable ionic solid is called Lattice energy. Conversely, the energy required to break the electrostatic force of attraction between the ions of unlike charges in the ionic solid and revert them to gaseous state is also termed as Lattice energy of an ionic solid.
Electrical conductivity is measurement of a material’s (a chemical compound’s) ability to allow the flow of electrical charges. Ions carry electrical charges and are mobile in nature.
