Ionic Bonding

Question 1

When do ions form?

Answer 1

Iones are formed when electrons are transferred. (lost or gained)

Question 2

metal atoms lose electrons to form…

Answer 2

positive ions

Question 3

non-metal atoms gain electrons to form…

Answer 3

negative ions

Question 4

OIL RIG

Answer 4

Oxidation is loss
Reduction is gain
(In terms of electrons)

Question 5

ionic bond

Answer 5

strong electrostatic attraction between ions of opposite charge

Question 6

what particular way do ions arrange themselves in?

Answer 6

giant ionic lattice

Question 7

properties of ionic bonds

high mp/bp

Answer 7

to melt the substance we have to break the strong ionic bonds in the lattice. lots of energy is needed to break the bonds

Question 8

properties of ionic bonds

solubility

Answer 8

ionic compounds are usually soluble in water and usually insoluble in organic solvents

Question 9

properties of ionic bonds

conductivity

Answer 9

to be a conductor we need charge particles and electrons free to move
in solids ions are charged but not free to move around as they have a fixed position in the lattice
