Bonding, Structure And Propeties Of Matter (the Good Stuff Is On Phyisics) Flashcards
What charge do electrons have ?
+1
What charge will an ion of lithium take ?
+1 because it need to lose the one on its outer shell
What charge will an ion of beryllium take ?
+2 because it’s need to lose its 2 on outer shell as it’s easier
What will the charge of Florine take ?
-1 because it’s needs to gain one as it has 7 on its outer shell
If something gains electrons what charge will it have ?
Negative change
= -
If something looses electrons what charge will it have ?
Positive
= -
Why do atoms transfer electrons in ionic bonding ?
So that they can have full outer shells
What is the name for a structure with oppositely charged ions joined together ?
Giant ionic lattice
Define a giant ionic lattice ?
A network of oppositely charged ions
Explain why some substances have a high or low melting point ?
Different strengths of electrostatic attractions make it easier or harder to break down
What are the 3 states of matter ?
