Ionic Bonding

Question 0

What happens in ionic bonding?

Answer 0

In ionic bonding atoms gain or lose electrons to form charged particles called ions. These charged particles are strongly attracted to one another.

Question 1

The transferring of electrons. Describes what?

Answer 1

Ionic bonding

Question 2

Has the ion Na+ lost or gained an electron?

Answer 2

Lost

Question 3

Name an example of an ionic compound?

Answer 3

Na+Cl- or sodium chloride (salt)

Question 4

List 3 things about the structure of ionic compounds.

Answer 4

Ionic compounds have giant ionic lattices. The ions form a closely packed regular lattice arrangement. Very strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions

Question 5

What is an ionic compound?

Answer 5

An ionic compound is a giant ionic structure held together by very strong electrostatic forces of attractions between oppositely charged ions. These forces work in all directions.

Question 6

Why do ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points?

Answer 6

Because of the strong attraction between the ions

Question 7

What happens when an ionic compound melts?

Answer 7

The ions are free to move to move and they’ll carry electrical current.

Question 8

Do ions dissolve easily in water?

Answer 8

Yes

Question 9

List 2 properties of ionic compounds

Answer 9

High melting and high boiling points. they also dissolve easily in water to form solutions that will conduct electricity when dissolved and when molten
