Ionic Bonds Flashcards
What is an ion?
Atom or group of atoms that has become electrically charged
What is an ionic bond?
Attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Compounds are electrically neutral (ions bond in a way that balance the changes) They are reactions between metals adn non metals.
How to make an ionic bond
Balance to equal to 8 electrons. If one atom has two protons and two electrons it must give two electrons away to balance. (Protons are in the nucleus) Now there are +2 > 0. The atom has more protons so it is positive.
If one atom has six protons and six electrons it must gain two electrons (-) to balance. (Protons are in the nucleus) Now there are +6 > -8. The atom has more electrons so it is negative.
How to know what atoms are metals and nonmetals?
A metal atom holds on to its valence electrons loosely. It usually atoms with 1, 2, 3 valence electrons. For nonmetals they hold on to it tightly. To balance the atom you don’t give away atoms. They have 6,7,8 valence electrons.
