GCSE; AQA; Ionic compounds - AQA Forming ionic bonds. An ionic compound is made up of charged particles, called ions. It has a giant lattice structure with strong electrostatic forces of attraction.

Two Spin-Peierls-like Compounds Exhibiting Divergent Structural Features, Lattice Compression, and Expansion in the Low- Temperature Phase. Zhengfang Tian †, Haibao Duan ‡, Xiaoming Ren * † ‡, ...

At the core of this cluster is In 10 S 13, which can be considered as a fragment of the NaCl-type lattice. The In 10 S 13 cluster is coupled to four In 4 S 10 supertetrahedral T2 clusters and four In ...

In this study, thermo-elastic and lattice dynamic properties of XMgAl (X = Li, Na) half-Heusler compounds are investigated using density functional theory implemented in WIEN2k and Quantum ESPRESSO ...
