What attracts ions together to form bonds?
The result? Ionic lattices tend to be crystalline, non-molecular materials with no molecular boundaries, with high melting points, and impossibly high boiling points (i.e. much energy has to be expended to disrupt the ionic lattice). Ionic crystals also tend to be quite brittle, which is another consequence of the ionic bond. Ionic crystals TEND to display some solubility in polar solvents that are capable of solvating individual ions. Water is an excellent solvent in this respect, because of its polarity, its ability to separate unlike charges.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
