24
Q

What is the result of mixing a metal and a non-metal in terms of electron transfer?

A

The metal loses electrons to form cations, while the non-metal gains electrons to form anions.

25
How do ionic compounds behave when subjected to electrical current?
They conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water.
26
What is the significance of the octet rule in ionic bonding?
Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons.
