Basics of Ionic Bonding
This type of bond forms when one atom donates an electron to another atom.
What is an ionic bond?
This element forms an ionic bond with chlorine by losing one electron to form table salt.
What is sodium?
Sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt, is an example of this type of bond.
What is ionic?
An atom that loses one electron forms this kind of ion.
What is a cation?
Which of the following elements is Mg most likely to bond with?
Na, Ni, Au, Br, Si
What is a Br (Bromine)?
Ionic bonds occur most commonly between these two types of elements.
What are metals and non-metals?
When ionic bonds form, atoms become ions. This happens to the outer energy level.
What is it becomes stable or similar to noble gases?
Lithium bonds ionically with this element to form a compound (LiCl) used in mental health treatments.
What is chlorine?
An atom gains electrons to achieve this, the stable electron configuration of a noble gas.
What is the octet rule?
Two characteristics of ionic bonds.
What are strong bonds and high melting and boiling points, conduct electricity?
In ionic bonding, this charged particle is formed when an atom loses or gains electrons.
What is an ion?
Calcium forms a 2+ ion in ionic bonding by losing this many electrons.
What are two electrons?
The ionic bond in magnesium oxide is between magnesium and this type of ion.
What is oxide ion (O2-)?
When a chlorine atom forms an ion, it gains how many electrons?
What is one electron?
Ionic compounds form _______ which is a repeating pattern of + & - ions.
What are crystals?
The attraction between these two types of ions results in ionic bonding.
What are cations and anions?
In forming ionic bonds, elements in this group on the periodic table typically lose three electrons.
What is group 13?
This ionic compound is formed from potassium and iodine.
What is potassium iodide?
The aluminum ion, Al3+, indicates that aluminum has lost this many electrons.
What is three electrons?
When a substance is dissolved in H20 it is said to be an _____________ solution.
What is aqueous?
This is the main driving force behind the formation of ionic bonds.
What is the achievement of a stable electron configuration?
What is atoms having a full outer shell?
The formula unit of an ionic compound is determined by balancing these charged particles.
What are ions?
Barium forms an ionic compound (BaCl)with this element, commonly found in fireworks for producing green color.
What is chlorine?
The ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. This trend in ionization energy occurs across a period in the periodic table.
What is an increase?
When dissolved in water, these types of compounds dissociate into ions, allowing them to conduct electricity.
