chapter 7 test Flashcards
What is a chemical bond
the force that holds two atoms together
what is an ionic bond
bonds between oppositely charged ions
cations
positive ions
anions
negative ions
Octet rule
atoms will gain or lose electrons to achieve a noble-gas configuration. (8 valence electrons, stable)
metals tend to - electrons
lose
non-metals tend to - electrons
gain
atoms gain or lose electrons to
fill their octet
when atoms gain or lose electrons they now have a
charge
a diatomic molecule is made of
two or more same type of atoms which are chemically bonded
how many diatomic molecules exist in nature and what are they
7; hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine, bromine, chlorine, and iodine
ionic bonds occur between a - and a -
metal and a non-metal
salts are formed when
alkali metals and alkali earth metals bond with halogens
when a metal forms a bond with oxegyn - are formed
oxides
binary compounds contain - elements
two
monoatomic means
containing one atom
polyatomic ions are composed of
more than two elements
ionic compounds are hard or soft
hard
ionic compounds are mallueble or brittle
brittle
ionic compounds have high/lowboliling and melting points
high
ionic solids do/do not conduct electricity
do not
