Question 1

What is an ion ?

Answer 1

An ion is an element with a different amount of electrons to normal, therefore it will have a positive or negative charge

Question 2

What does the group mean about the elements ion ?

Answer 2

The group f the element show how many electrons the element will gain or lose

Question 3

How do you make an ion ?

Answer 3

To make an ion you must first draw out the atom using shells, look at the outer shell and either minus or plus electrons to make the outer shell full
.e.g. 3 outer shell (-3 electrons) so +3
7 outer shell (+1 electron) so -1

Question 4

Answer 7

For ionic bonding the elements that are bonding must all have an overall charge that’s neutral, and at the end the equation must be balanced

Question 8

What properties do ionic compounds have ?

Answer 8

High melting point and boiling points because of strong electrostatic forces and formed in a lattice, they conduct electricity when in solution or molten

Question 9

What makes up an ionic compound ?

Answer 9

A non-metal and a Metal
