Ionic Bonding Flashcards
define ionic bonding
non metal atoms react with other non metal atoms to form molecules and compounds sharing outer shell electrons.
Which side of the periodic table are metals found on
left hand side
Which side of the periodic table are non metals found on
right hand side
what happens when metals lose electrons from their outer shell?
They become positive IONS
How do metal atoms form negative ions?
grain electrons
What are ionic bonds?
forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
what does it mean when an element is neutral?
Number of protons=number of electrons
in ionic bonding electrons are what?
Transfered
metal ions are always…
positive
non mental ions are always…
-negative
What structure do ionic compounds have?
- ionic bonding
- Giant ionic structure
what are the proerties of a giant ionic structure?
- High melting and boiling points
- requires a lot of energy to break
- conduct electricity when molten or dissolved in water
- soluble in water
What happens to outer shell electron in ionic bonding?
They become delocalised and are able to move throughout the metal structure
What is metalic bonding?
Is the strong force of attraction between the positive metal ions and the delocalised electrons
Metals have what kind of structure?
Giant metallic structure
