Section 2.1 Atoms into Ions

Question 1

What is a compound and how it is formed?

Answer 1

A compound is when two or more elements react to form a new substance. It is formed with chemical bonding

Question 2

Is separating compounds difficult?

Answer 2

Yes because they are chemically bonded

Question 3

Why do atoms react?

Answer 3

To achieve a full outermost shell (8) making them stable

Question 4

What are the three types of bonding?

Answer 4

Covalent, ionic and metallic bonding

Question 5

What happens to the electrons of atoms in ionic bonding?

Answer 5

Atoms lose or gains electrons

Question 6

What are the products of ionic bonding? What is there charge and electronic structure?

Answer 6

Ions, they have either a positive or negative charge. They have the electronic structure of a noble gas (8 electrons in its outermost shell)

Question 7

Which atoms tend to lose electrons and which atoms tend to gain electrons?

Answer 7

Metals atoms tend to lose electrons and non-metal atoms tend to gain electrons

Question 8

What is the force between ions in an ionic bonds?

Answer 8
