Ionic Bonding Flashcards
1
Q

Metallic and non-metallic elements bond
2
Q
Metal Atoms have a ?
A
Weak valence shell
3
Q
Non-Metal Atoms have a ?
A
Strong Valence shell
4
Q
High melting point
A
Strong attraction needs lots of energy to move out of fixed position.
5
Q
Conducts Electricity
A
Charged atoms free to move in aqueous and liquid state not solid
6
Q
Hard but brittle
A
Ions held rigidly together but stress bring solid ion of same charge closer together (crystal shatter)
