The number of electrons that an atom must gain, lose or share to achieve the stability of a noble gas.

40
Q

What is density?

A

The type of bonds between the atoms of an element determines the density of an element at room temperature.

41
Q

What pattern does the periodic table show for density?

A

Density increases down a group

42
Q

What pattern does the periodic table show for mpts and bpts?

A

A crystal lattice

56
Q

What holds ions together?

A

Electrostatic forces

57
Q

Why do ions have high melting points?

A

Their electrostatic forces are very strong. It takes a lot of energy to overcome these forces.
