Ionic Bonding Jeopardy

Periodic Table

100

On the periodic table, the group number is a shortcut to identify what about an atom?

Number of valence electrons

200

Any elements in the same group or family will have the same number of what?

Valence Electrons

300

What rule refers to atoms losing or gaining electrons so they can achieve a full valence shell?

octet rule or duet rule

400

What group of elements will not react with other elements on the periodic table?

Group 8A, group 18, or the noble gases.

500

What is the the oxidation number or charge of a magnesium ion

+2

Ionic Bonds

100

What type of bonding involves the "transfer of electrons from a cation to an anion".

Ionic bonding

200

To create an ionic bond there must be a ____________ and _____________

Metal and Nonmetal 

300

What type of ion will metals become during ionic bonding?

Cation

400

How many electrons would you expect phosphorous to gain when bonding with another element?

3 electrons

500

True or False

Anions can ionically bond with Anions. Why or why not?

False. Because anions have a negative charge and ionic bonds have to have opposite charges. So an ANION HAS TO IONICALLY BOND WITH A CATION (positive charge)

Explain the criss cross method

Criss cross method is used when making the formula from ionic compounds. The oxidation numbers of atoms(element) (Mg ²⁺) (O^2-) are transferred or switched to opposite atom(element) in the correct ionic formula format (Mg₁) and (O₂). 

MgO₂
