Ionic Solids

Lattice Energy: This is the energy required to separate one mole of an ionic solid into its gaseous ions. It’s like the "game over" screen in Tetris when you've finally managed to dismantle your carefully constructed tower.

Covalent Bonding: This is another type of chemical bonding where atoms share electrons, unlike in ionic bonding where electrons are transferred. It’s like playing cooperative multiplayer mode in a video game instead of competitive mode.

Crystal Lattice: This refers to the three-dimensional arrangement of particles in a crystal. It’s like the grid on which you play Tetris.
