C3.2: Atoms Into Ions Flashcards
When 2 OR MORE elements chemically react they make a ________
Compound
Can you react compounds with other compounds?
Yes
When atoms react, they take part in changes which give them a ____
Stable arrangement of electrons
When atoms react, they take part in changes which give them a stable arrangement of electrons.
What are the 2 ways they can do this?
Covalent bonding (sharing electrons)
Ionic bonding( transferring electrons)
In ionic bonding what do atoms do?
Lose or gain electrons
If atoms lose electrons what do they form?
Positive ions
They have the same electronic structure as a noble gas.
with a different number of protons
If a positive ion has a singular positive charge where is the plus sign?
Up and right of element
Nom-metals react with metals and the non metals
Gain electrons (positive ions)
What diagram can reacts of elements be shown in ?
Dot and cross diagram
Ionic compounds are held together by what?
Strong forces of attraction between their oppositely charged ions. This is called ionic bonding.
If you had elements from group 2 you would have _____
The number so 2 and then the minus 2-
