Ch. 8 Ionic Compounds Flashcards
Chemical bond
- The force that holds two atoms together
- an attachment may form by the attraction of the positively charged nucleus of one atom for the negatively charged electrons of another atom or by the attraction of charged atoms which are called ions
Valence electrons
- the electrons in the outermost energy level
- also in the chemical bond attraction
Noble gasses
Are a family of elements that have very little tendency to react
Stable Octet
Elements have a set of eight outermost electrons
Pseudo- noble gas formations
Relatively stable electrons structures developed by loss of electrons in certain elements of groups 1B, 2B, 3A, and 4A
True or false ?
A positively charged ion is called an anion
False
True or false ?
Elements in group 1A lose the I one valence electron, forming an ion with a 1+ charge
True
True or false ?
Elements tend to react so that they acquire the electron structure of a halogen
False
True or false ?
A sodium atom tends to lose one electron When it reacts
True
True or false ?
The electron structure of a zinc ion (Zn2+) is an example of a pseudo noble gas formation
True
True or false ?
A CI- ion is an example of a cation
False
True or false ?
The ending -ide is used to designate an anion
True
True or false ?
Non metals form a stable outer electron configuration by losing electrons and becoming anions
False
Ionic bond
Is a force that holds together atoms that are oppositely charged
The formula unit of an ionic compound shows the
Simplest ratio of the ions
The overall charge of a formula unit of an ionic compound
Is always zero
Ionic bonds generally occur between
A metal and a non metal
salts are ex’s of
Ionic compounds
Crystal lattice
A three dimensional arrangement of particles In an ionic solid
In a crystal lattice of an ionic compound
Ions are surround by ions of the opposite charge
What is the relationship between lattice em where and the strength of the attractive force holding ions in place ?
The more negative the lattice energy is the greater the force
The formation of a stable ionic compound from ions
Is always exothermic
In electron transfer involving a metallic atom and a nonmetallic atom during ion formation, _________________________________________
The nonmetallic atom gains electrons from the metallic atom
