Atoms + Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
What are the charges of Protons, Neutrons and Electrons?
A
Protons = +1 , mass = 1 Electron = -1 , mass = very small Neutron = 0 , mass = 1
2
Q
What type of element does ionic bonding happen between?
A
Metal and non metal, they both have ions
3
Q
How does ionic bonding work?
A
The metal looses electrons and creates a positive ion
The non metal gains electrons and creates a negative ion
They then attract to each other and ionicly bond
4
Q
What type of elements does covalent bonding use?
A
Covalent bonding consists of two non metals
5
