Bonding

Question 1

What’s the exception for noble gases

Answer 1

Most atoms don’t have full electronic shells except the noble gases

Question 2

What does having a full outer shell do

Answer 2

Gives the atoms a stable , unreactive property . All atoms want full outer shells for that degree of stability

Question 3

What’s an ion

Answer 3

It’s a charged particle formed when an atom gains or looses electrons

Question 4

What’s an cation

Answer 4

Positive ion

Question 5

What’s an anion

Answer 5

Negative ion

Question 6

A full outer shell makes a ion

Answer 6

Stable

Question 7

The left side of the periodic table (metals)

Answer 7

Loss electrons to gain full outer shell configurations . This forms ions called cations

Question 8

The right hand side elements of the periodic table (non metals)

Answer 8

Gain electrons to gain full outer shell configurations. They form negative ions known as anions

Question 9

What’s an molecular ion

Answer 9

It’d a charged particle containing two or more atoms covalently bonded
Basically an ion
Anions
Cations

Question 10

What’s an ionic bond

Answer 10

The attraction between oppositely charged ions

Question 11

Where does an ionic bond occur

Answer 11

Between nonmetals and metals (e.g metal compounds)
E.g Na and Cl react together Na looses electrons to the Cl atom so that both Na and Cl have full outer shells making sodium chloride

Question 12

The opposite charges of the two ions.

Answer 12

Attract each other strongly and requires a lot of energy to break them apart. This is called ionic bond.

Question 13

Covalent bond

Answer 13

Type of chemical bond formed by 2 atoms shared by one or more pairs of electrons to achieve stability
