Ionic Bonding Flashcards
How to show the bonding
- State the Lewis dot diagram for each element
- Use arrows to transfer electrons until both atoms are happy and full
- Write the ion number for each atom
- Formula and name
Which element always comes first when naming?
The metal
What is the ending for ionic compounds?
IDE
What are polyatomic ions?
A charged particle that contains many atoms
What charge do grouped ions get?
When 2 or more atoms are grouped together the whole group assumes a particle charge
Criss cross formula
- State ion symbols (-/+)
- Eliminate charges and cross numbers
- Name and formula reduced!!
What are Binary acids
(H) hydrogen plus a single atom
What are Oxy acids
(H) hydrogen plus polyatomic atoms
what is an acid?
Ionic compounds that have hydrogen acting as a cation (if its first in the formula)
What is covalent bonding
The sharing of electrons between 2 non metals
•• what are these?
These are paired electrons they are full and happy and are not involved with any co Valent bonding
• what is this
This is an unpaired electron it is involved with co Valent bonding
What is a combining capacity
The number of unpaired electrons
Which atom is placed at the centre?
The atom with the greatest combining capacity
What are synthesis reactions?
A+B=AB
