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.

Scientists have found the first case of an ionic crystal consisting of just one chemical element -- boron. This is the densest and hardest known phase of this element. The new phase turned out to be a ...

In this episode, Dr Sunayana Bhargava and Tulela Pea explore the properties of ionic compounds. Suitable for: AQA, Edexcel, OCR. For more information on properties of ...

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) dominate portable electronics but fall short for electric vehicles’ energy density needs. Silicon (Si) is a promising anode candidate due to its high theoretical capacity, ...
