bonding and structure

Question 1

an ion

Answer 1

an ion is a charged particle formed when an atom loses or gains electrons to achieve a full outer shell

Question 2

an ionic bond

Answer 2

the attraction between oppositely charged ions in an ionic compound

Question 3

a molecular ion

Answer 3

a charged particle containing more than 1 atom

Question 4

A giant ionic lattice

Answer 4

a 3d structure of oppositely charged ions held together by ionic bonds

Question 5

an aqueous solution

Answer 5

a solution in which the solvent is water. most ionic substances are soluble in water

Question 6

a covalent bond

Answer 6

a shared pair of electrons

Question 7

A molecule

Answer 7

two or more atoms covalently bonded together

Question 8

diatomic

Answer 8

two atoms covalently bonded in a molecule

Question 9

lone pair of electrons

Answer 9

a lone pair of electrons is an unbonded pair of electrons

Question 10

intramolecular bonds

Answer 10

bonds which occurs between atoms within a molecule

Question 11

intermolecular forces

Answer 11

inter means between so intermolecular forces are the attractive forces between the molecules

Question 12

allotrope

Answer 12

different forms of an element in the same physical state

Question 13

metallic bonding

Answer 13

is the attraction between the positive metal ions and the sea of delocalised electrons in a regular lattice

Question 14

alloy

Answer 14

is a mixture of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, and the resulting mixture has metallic properties

Question 15

malleable

Answer 15

means can be hammered into shape

Question 16

Ductile

Answer 16

means can be drawn out into thin wires
