Q

What is an ionic bond?

A

The attraction between to oppositely charged ions

22
Q

What is a chemical formula?

A

A combination of symbols that shows the ratio of elements in a compound

23
Q

In this formula (MgCl2) what does the 2 mean?

24
Q

When does the end of a name of a negative ion end with ide?

A

If the negative ion is a single element

25
What are three characteristic properties of ionic compounds?
Ionic crystals High melting points Electrical conductivity
26
Which ions are attracted to each other?
Cations to anions
27
Why do ionic compounds have high melting points?
Their energy increases when heated up
28
Alloy
A mixture made of two or more elements that had the properties of a metal
29
Properties of a metal
Shininess, malleability, ductility, conductivity
30
What is a covalent bond?
A chemical formed when two atoms share electrons
31
Molecule
A neutral particle in covalent bonds
32
Double bond
When atoms share two pairs of electrons
33
Can atoms of some elements share three pairs of electrons?
Yes
34
How are atoms arranged in molecular compounds?
In molecules
35
In a __ covalent bond, electrons are shared unequally.
Polar
36
How are electrons shared in a nonpolar covalent bond?
Equally
37
How can a molecule be nonpolar overall but still contain polar bonds?
If 2 atoms pull on shared electrons with equal force, the charges cancel out
38
True or false? Water molecules are polar.
True
39
Are molecules part of a covalent bond or ionic bond?
Covalent
40
In a covalent bond, are electrons shared or transferred?
Shared, they are transferred in ionic bonds
41
What is an ionic compound made of?
Ions
42
Are covalent bonds between metals or nonmetals?
Nonmetals
43
Nonpolar covalent bonds
Share electrons equally
44
Polar covalent bonds
Do not share electrons equally, usually different elements
45
If there is a metal and nonmetal, what is the new ending on the anion?
-ide
46
Do nonmetals or metals lose electrons?
Metals, nonmetals gain
47
Properties of ionic compounds
Ionic crystals, high melting points, and electrical conductivity REMEMBER: COVALENT BONDS ARE OPPOSITE!!!
48
Alloy
A material made of two or more elements that have the properties of a metal
49
List 4 properties of metals
Malleable, shiny, ductile, conductivity
50
What is a metallic bond?
An attraction between a positive metal ion and the electrons surrounding it
51
Explination for metallic properties
The valence electrons are extremely mobile and move easily between atoms (sea of electrons)
