Ionic bonding Flashcards
1
Q
Where and how does this occur?
A
Between a metal and non-metal.
Electrons are transferred from metal to the non-metal to achieve a full outer shell.
2
Q
How do oppositely charged ions attract one another?
A
Through electrostatic forces to form a giant ionic crystal lattice.
3
Q
What are some common ionic compounds?
A
Sulfate} SO42- Hydroxide} OH- Nitrate} NO3- Carbonate} CO32- Ammonium} NH4+
4
Q
What are the repulsive forces due to?
A
- Ions of the same charge
- inner shells of electrons repelling the outer shell electrons
- The positively charged nuclei repel one another.
