16
Q

What does the gain of electrons result in?

A

A negatively charged ion

17
Q

How does the name change when a non-metal atom forms an ion?

A

Oxygen changed to oxide

18
Q

What charge do ionic compounds have?

A

Neutral because the positive ion charge cancels out the negative ion charge

19
Q

What causes an ionic bond to form?

A

The attractive force between the positive cation and negative anion (oppositely charged ions)

20
Q

What is the charge of silver?

A

1+

21
Q

What is the charge of zinc?

A

2+

22
Q

What is the charge of lead?

Q

What is the charge of copper II?

A

2+

26
Q

What is a polyatomic ion?

A

A charged particle consisting of two or more atoms joined together

27
Q

What is an ionic compound?

A

A giant structure of ions which have a regular, repeating arrangement called an ipnic lattice
