Bonding, equations and formula Flashcards
What does bonding do
They invole changes in the outermost electron shells of the atom
What are the three types of bonding
Ionic, Covalent, Metallic
What is ionic bonding
A metal and a non metal bonding
What is covalent bonding
2 non metals bonding
What is metallic bonding
Two metals bonding
What happens to metals when they react in ionic bonding
They lose their outermost electrons to leave a full electron shell. This produces a charged atom/ion with a positive charge called cation. This process is called oxidation.
What happens when non metals react in ionic bonding
The non metal gains electrons to achieve a full electron shell. The atom becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. This process is called reduction.
Are the atoms involved in ionic bonding more stable
Yes
What happens to the oppositly charged atoms.
Millions of pairs attract and form a lattice
What does column 1 show
The ions with 1 extra electron
What does column 2 show
The elements which have 2 extra atoms
What does column 3 show
The elements with 3 extra electrons
What does column 6 show
The elements with two electrons missing to achieve a full shell
What does column 7 show
The elements which have 1 electron missing to achieve a full shell
What do transition metals show
The number of electrons can change
What is a complex ion
A ion made out of more than 1 element
Simple ions
Ions only made of 1 type of atom
When working out formulae, when would you use brackets
In compound ions
How would you balance equations
Count the number of atoms on each side. And add big numbers before a compound to change it. Never change the small numbers in a compound
