Ionic compounds
आयनिक यौगिक
In Class 10 Science, under Metals and Non-metals, students learn how ionic compounds form when metal atoms transfer electrons to non-metal atoms. This creates positively charged cations and negatively charged anions, held together by strong electrostatic attraction in a crystal lattice. Using examples such as sodium chloride and magnesium oxide, the topic explains charge balance in chemical formulas and key properties of ionic compounds, including their high melting points, hardness, brittleness, solubility in water, and ability to conduct electricity when molten or dissolved.
