1
Q
What types of elements are involved within ionic bonding ?
A
Metals and non metals
2
Q
How is the bond formed ?
A
By transfer of electrons, metal atom loses and non metal gains
3
Q
What charge ions do they produce ?
A
Metal = positive
Non metals = negative
4
Q
How are the metals formed from a positive ions ?
A
The metals needs to lose and electron so it can react
5
Q
How are the non-metals formed from negative ions ?
A
The non metals needs to gain an electron so it can react
6
Q
Are ionic bonds strong or weak ?
A
Strong
7
