Which statement describes the structure of an ionic compound? It is a giant lattice of positive ions in a ‘sea' of electrons. It is a giant lattice of oppositely charged ions. It is a giant molecule of oppositely charged ions. It is a simple molecule of oppositely charged ions.

 It is a giant lattice of oppositely charged ions.

Explanation:

Ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electrons.  For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals. The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.

The cations and anions are arranged in a unit cell and there are many unit cells arranged together to form a regular lattice. Thus they are hard and crystalline in nature.

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.
