A
39
Q

What is the charge on an oxide ion?

A

O2-

40
Q

Ionic compounds have what type of boiling and melting points? Why?

A

High, because they are lattice structure so ionic bonds would have to be broken

41
Q

Why can metals be hammered and bent?

A

Layers slide over each other

42
Q

Draw a sodium ion.

A
43
Q

Describe the bonding found in metals

A

Positive ions attracted to a sea of electrons

44
Q

Is methane a simple molecular or giant covalent structure?

A

Simple Molecular

45
Q

Why does graphite conduct electricity in electrodes?

A

1 electron from each carbon is free to move

46
Q

What is the name of the bonding in metals?

A

Metallic

50
Q

What is the electronic configuration for a magnesium ion?

A

2, 8

51
Q

Why does methane have low melting and boiling points?

A

The low melting point is because it only has weak intermolecular forces that need to be broken

52
Q

What are represented by ?

A

Shared pair of electrons – covalent bond

53
Q

In covalent compounds what happens to the electrons?

A

Shared

54
Q

Q

What is a double covalent bond?

A

2 pairs of shared electrons

56
Q

What are shape memory alloys?

A

Alloys that change shape at different temperatures

57
Q

Why do simple molecules evaporate easily?

A

Weak intermolecular forces don’t need a lot of energy to break

58
Q

What group of elements don’t often bond because they are unreactive?

A

0 – Noble Gases
