Chemistry 2.2 Ionic bonding Flashcards
1
Q
What happens when a metal reacts with a non-metal?
A
Electrons in outter shell of metal atom are transferred
2
Q
Metals in terms of ionic bonding
A
lose electrons to become positively charged ions
3
Q
Non-metals in terms of ionic bonding
A
gain electrons to become negatively charged ions.
4
Q
Which ions have similar structure to noble gases?
A
The ions produced by metals in Groups 1 and 2 and by non-metals in Groups 6 and 7 have the electronic structure of a noble gas (Group 0).
