16
Q

What happens when an element gains electrons to have a full outer shell?

A

It becomes a negatively charged ion

17
Q

Why are certain ions positive?

A

because they have more protons than electrons,same goes for it being negative if there is less protons than electrons

18
Q

What structure do positive ions mimick?

A

noble gases,due too the full outer shell

19
Q

What structure do negative ions mimick?

A

Also noble gases,due to the full outer shell.

20
Q

How are ions formed?

A

A transfer of electrons,which always take place when making a full outer shell.

21
Q

what do opposites do?

A

attract,due to electrostatic forces.

22
Q

Do ionic bonds melt/boil at high or low temperatures?

A

High

23
Q

What must we do to make ionic lattices conduct electricity?

A

dissolve them in water.
