How are ionic compounds formed
They are formed when a metal gives up an electron to a non metal. (If the compound contains a metal it’s ionic)
What is a covalent compound
A compound made up of two non metals
What is an anion
A positive ion
What is a cation
A negative ion
How are ionic compounds different from covalent
Ionic compounds involve the transfer of electrons, they form crystal lattice structures, are salts, and require balancing of positive and negative charges.
How are covalent compounds different from ionic
They do not require the balance of charges, made of two non metals, and always end in ide,
Isolate m from d=m/v
M= d • v
Isolate t from a= v/t
T= v/a
What is the equation for finding wavelength
λ= v/f
What is the equation for frequency
F= v/λ
Which group of elements do not react with other elements
Noble gasses
What are 3 alkali metals
Li,Na,K
What are 3 halogens
F,Cl, Br
