A positively charged ion
More protons than electrons
Formed when a neutral atom loses an electron
Cation
Negatively charged ion
More electrons than protons
Formed when a neutral atom gains an electron
Anion
A solid with a definite geometric structure
Crystal
Chemical bond arising from the attractive forces between oppositely charged ions in an ionic compound
Ionic bond
The bonds in an ionic crystal are very
Strong
Nearly all ionic compounds are solids at a _____ temperature
Room
Solid ionic compounds are ____ conductors of electricity because the ions are locked in place in the crystal
Poor
When the substance is melted or dissolved the crystalline structure is
Destroyed
Once the crystalline structure is destroyed the ions are then free to
Move and able to carry electric current
Liquid ionic compounds and water solutions of ionic compounds are _____ conductors
Good
An inter atomic attraction resulting from the sharing of electrons between atoms
Covalent bond
Each ion has its own noble gas electron configuration
Ionic bond
Each atoms has a noble gas electron configuration but shares electron pairs to do so
Covalent bond
Formed by the 2 electrons is concentrated in the region between the 2 nuclei
Electron cloud or charge density
Formula mass=
Sum of atomic masses in the formula unit
16.00u+ 12.01u+ 16.00u= 44.01u
