Ionig Bonding Flashcards
Ionic bonding happens to give both elements…
A full shell.
A shell with one electron is keen to…
Get rid - these form positive ions when they lose electrons.
A nearly full shell needs…
One more electron. When they gain this electron, they form negative ions.
Oppositely charges ions are…. Attracted to each other so they usually react …..
Strongly, quickly.
These form ionic bonds and make ionic compounds.
Compounds formed between group 1 and group 7 elements are held together by …
Ionic bonds.
Describe the features of the regular lattice…
Ionic compounds are made up of a giant lattice of ions - a crystal.
When molten or dissolved in water, ionic compounds conduct… As the ions can move.
Electricity.
The fact molten or dissolved ionic compounds can conduct electricity shows metals and non-metals which make these compounds are made of…
Ions.
When atoms or molecules gain or lose electrons, they become…
Charged particles - ions.
