Q

Describe why the structure of ionic compounds causes the compounds to be hard.

A

The bond structure is very strong, and as long as the ions remained lined up in the lattice, it is very difficult to break.

Q

Why do ionic compounds have high melting points and high boiling points?

A

Because each ion has a strong bond to each neighboring ion and these bonds must be broken for melting and boiling to occur.

Q

When are salts excellent conductors of electricity?

A

When they are liquid or in solution.

19
Q

Name the five characteristics of ionic compounds.

A

Solid at room temperature, hard and brittle, do not conduct electricity in solid form, good conductors in a liquid state or when dissolved in water, high melting and boiling points

20
Q

How do those five properties relate to the nature of ionic bonds?

A

Most of them are results of ionic bonds being extremely strong. It is hard to break the compound apart, but when the bonds are finally broken, the charged particles are good conductors of electricity.

21
Q

Describe the structure of salt crystals.

A

Form repetitive geometric arrangements of ions, atoms, or molecules.

22
Q

How do the outer shell electron configurations for ions of Group 1, Group 2, and Group 15, Group 16, and Group 17 elements compare with those of the noble gases?

A

Ions of group 1 and 2 have the electron configuration of the noble gas in the previous period. Groups 15,16,17 ions have the electron configuration of the noble gas following them on the periodic table.

23
Q

What do you notice about all of the ionic charges for Group1? Group 2? Group 15? Group 16? Group 17?

A

Group 1: all +1
Group 2: all +2
Group 15: all -3
Group 16: all -2
Group 17: all -1

24
Q

Explain why the properties of ions differ from those of their parent atoms.

A

Ions have different electron configurations than their parent atoms, they act more like atoms with their electron configuration than they do their parent atoms

25
Q

Why do atoms of metals form cations?

A

The energy required to remove electrons to form cations with a noble gas configuration is less than the energy required to add electrons to form an anion.

26
Q

Why do atoms of nonmetals form anions?

A

The energy required to add electrons so their ions have a noble gas electron configurations is less than the energy required to remove enough electrons.

27
Q

Having equal amounts of positive and negative charges is called:

A

electroneutrality

28
Q

Collections of _____ are never found without a similar number of anions nearby to effectively neutralize the charges.

A

cations

29
Q

When an element forms two or more positive ions, the ions are distinguished by using ______ to indicate the charge

A

roman numerals

30
Q

How do the formulas for atomic salts relate to their names?

A

It gives the number of cations and anions present.

31
Q

What are the endings of polyatomic ions containing oxygen?

A

-ite and -ate

32
Q

What “replaces an oxygen by a sulfur” in the anion?

A

thio-

33
Q

What is a regular, infinitely repeatable pattern in which a crystal is arranged?

A

crystal lattice

34
Q

What is the smallest portion of a crystal lattice that shows the 3 dimensional structure of the entire lattice?

A

unit cell

35
Q

Define lattice energy.

A

The amount of energy needed to break crystal lattice up into separate ions.

36
Q

What are ionic compounds that include water in their crystal structure?

A

hydrates

37
Q

What factors affect lattice energy?

A

charge and radius/ size

38
Q

What does isoelectronic mean?

A

having the same number electrons

39
Q

What is a polyatomic ion composed of an element, usually a nonmetal, bonded to one or more oxygen atoms

A

oxyanion

40
Q

What proposes that all metal atoms in a metallic solid contribute their valence electrons to form a “sea” of electrons, and can explain properties of metallic solids such as malleability, conduction, and ductility?

A

The electron sea model

41
Q

What electrons are involved in metallic bonding that are free to move easily from one atom to the next throughout the metal and are not attached to a particular atom?

A

delocalized electrons

42
Q

What is the attraction of a metallic cation for delocalized electrons

A

metallic bond

43
Q
