Ionic Bonding and compounds

Question 1

What is ionic bonding

Answer 1

Ionic bonding is the transfer of electrons

Question 2

What happens in ionic bonding

Answer 2

Metals and non metals react together. Metals lose an electron to become positive non metals gain a electron to become negative.

Question 3

What force attracts non metals and metals

Answer 3

Electrostatic force

Question 4

How can you show a ionic bond

Answer 4

Dot and cross diagrams

Question 5

What is a ionic compound

Answer 5

They are ions arranged in a pattern called a giant ionic lattice

Question 6

Positive and negatives of ball and stick and 3D model to show giant ionic lattice

Answer 6

3D shows how big the ions are compared to each other and puts them in order, but it only let’s you see the outer layer of a compound

Ball and stick shows you how ions are arranged, but it doesn’t show you how big the ions are to each other

Question 7

Properties of ionic compounds

Answer 7

Hey have high melting and boiling points
They are solid, so they can’t conduct electricity, until they melt and the ions are free they can
They dissolve in water
