Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Ionic compounds are the compounds formed by transfer of electrons. An ionic compound contains ions which are arranged in an ordered lattice.
This lattice is repeating in nature and thus results in the formation of a compound.
For example, NaCl is an ionic compound that has an ordered crystal lattice.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement they are made up of particles that are arranged in a repeating pattern, is true.
The following statement is true about the ionic compounds:
They are made up of particles that are arranged in a repeating pattern.
Further Explanation:
An attractive force responsible for the formation of a wide variety of compounds is known as a chemical bond. The compounds formed due to these bonds are called chemical compounds.
Ionic bond
This type of chemical bond is formed between two oppositely charged species, known as ions. Ions are the species with either positive or negative charges. Cations are the positively charged ions that are formed due to loss of electrons from the neutral atom. Anions are the ions carrying a negative charge and are formed by the gain of electrons to the neutral atom. So the force of attraction that arises between cations and anions is called an ionic bond.
Ionic compounds are the chemical compounds formed due to electrostatic forces between the oppositely charged ions. Such compounds are overall neutral but their constituent particles are charged ones. In ionic compounds, each ion is surrounded by the ions of opposite charges and this arrangement is repeated in an ordered manner to form the compound.
For example, NaCl is an ionic compound. Here sodium forms [tex]\text{Na}^+[/tex] ion by losing an electron and this electron is gained by chlorine atom to form [tex]\text{Cl}^-[/tex] ion. Each [tex]\text{Na}^+[/tex] ion is surrounded by [tex]\text{Na}^+[/tex] ions and each [tex]\text{Cl}^-[/tex] ion is surrounded by [tex]\text{Cl}^-[/tex] ions. This is repeated in the whole crystal of NaCl (For structure, refer to the attached image).
Therefore ionic compounds are made up of particles that are arranged in a repeating pattern.
