==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Giant ionic structures''' are large [[molecule]]s in which the [[atom]]s are held together by [[Ionic Bond|ionic bonds]].

===About Giant Ionic Structures===
: '''Giant ionic structures''' are [[molecule]]s made of a large number of [[metal]] and [[non-metal]] [[ion]]s joined by [[Ionic Bond|ionic bonds]].
: The [[ion]]s in a '''giant ionic structure''' are arranged in a regular [[lattice]] (a repeating pattern of [[element]]s.

===Examples===
