What is ionic bonding?
Transferring electrons, the atoms involved lose all gain electrons to form charged particles called ions
All the bounds strong in ionic bonding?
The ions formed are held next to each other by very strong forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions. This electrostatic force of attraction ,which acts in all directions , is called ionic bonding
What is an ionic compound ?
A compound held together by strong forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions called ionic bonding
What are isotopes ?
An isotope is where an atom are different. Isotopes are where they have the same element some protons , some electrons but different neutron
What is electronic configuration?
How many electrons are in each shell
What is one difference between the old and new periodic table?
An extra collum
What happens when an atom loses or gains electrons?
It becomes an ion
Which of metals and non-metals forms negative ions ?
Non- metals
What is distillation?
The evaporation and subsequent collection of a liquid by condensation as a means of purification
What is a mixture?
Combination of elements and compounds , not chemically bonded so can be separated
What is it called if solids dissolve in water ?
They would be soluble
