3.6—The effects of ionic radius and ionic charge on the strength of ionic bonding

Understand the effects of ionic radius and ionic charge on the strength of ionic bonding.

Use —the effects of ionic radius and ionic charge on the strength of ionic bonding to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because —the effects of ionic radius and ionic charge on the strength of ionic bonding determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply —the effects of ionic radius and ionic charge on the strength of ionic bonding to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: —The effects of ionic radius and ionic charge on the strength of ionic bonding is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
