Q

How are Ions formed?

A

when electrons move from one species to another and the overall number of protons and electrons changes

atoms gain or lose electrons
or a proton never comes out of an atom

15
Q

positively charged species
number of electrons < number of protons

15
Q

negatively charged species
number of electrons > number of protons

16
Q

typically lose electrons to form cations

A

Metals in Monoatomic ions

17
Q

Some metals can have more than one charge

A

multivalent ions

18
Q

typically gain electrons to form anions.

19
Q

ions that contain more than one type of atom
atoms are held together by strong covalent bonds

A

Polyatomic Ions

20
Q

made from the combination of cations and anions

A

Ionic Compounds

22
Q

Ionic compounds are held together by strong —————- between oppositely charged ions

A

electrostatic forces

23
True or false: Ionic compounds are electrically positively charged
false they are electrically neutral
24
Trivia
Ionic compounds are solid at room temperature and requires high temperature to break the attraction of ions and melt the compound
25
species that conduct electricity when dissolved in water as ions are free to move in solution
strong electrolytes
26
species that do not conduct electricity
nonelectrolytes
27
differentiate Atoms and Molecules
Atoms have one atom, molecules have more than one
28
Differentiate Atoms and Ions
Atoms are electrically neutral, Ions have varied charges that can either be an Anion or a Cation
