This lecture covers the advanced concepts of ionic bonding, focusing on the complete electron transfer between metals and non-metals. It explains the formation of ionic compounds, their crystal structures, and the energies associated with their formation. The lecture also delves into the Madelung constant, lattice energy, and different types of crystal structures in ionic solids.
