The structure shown in the diagram is called a giant ionic lattice, which refers to the organized arrangement of ions in an ionic compound. It is characterized by a repeating pattern of positive and negative ions that are strongly attracted to each other. This structure contributes to the unique properties of ionic compounds, such as their high melting points and crystalline shapes.
