(chem)咩係giant ionic structure?/咩係giant covalent structure?

Giant ionic structure is the structure that has strong ELECTROSTATIC ATTRACTION between the
CATIONS and ANIONS.
e.g) ALL ionic compounds

Giant covalent structure is the structure that has strong COVALENT BONDS between the nuclei of the
ATOMS.
e.g) Diamond, quartz, SiO2

Since ALL the ionic compounds are giant ionic structure, the compound that is formed by 2,8,8,2 and 2,8,6 atoms is giant ionic structure

Structure of the compound is divided into 2 group:

Giant Structure
Example of giant structure: giant ionic structure, giant covalent structure, giant metallic structure

Molecular Structure
Example of molucular structure: simple molecular structure, macromolecules

Since ionic compounds belong to the giant structure group, it is called giant ionic structure.
