Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
why does ionic bonding occur
A
electrostatic attraction between the positive nucleus and electrons
2
Q
what type of structure do stable ions have
A
noble gas structure
3
Q
if an ion gains or loses more electrons, will it have a higher or lower mp, why?
A
higher as there are stronger forces of electrostatic attraction
4
Q
what do the charges in ionic compounds sum to
A
0
5
Q
what forms ionic lattices
A
+ and - ions
6
Q
how do you draw ionic bonding
A
dot and cross with these arrows around the ions []
7
Q
what charges do transition metal ions typically have
A
2+
8
Q
what charge do silver ions have
A
1+
9
Q
what charge do ammonium ions have
A
1+
10
Q
define covalent bonding
