Section 3.2 Ionic and Molecular Compounds Flashcards
Ionic compounds are
pure substances formed as an attraction between particles
Ionic compounds are made of
Metals and nonmetals
At room tempature Ionic compounds are
all solids
How do Ionic Compounds conduct electricity
They are good eletrical conducters
Ionic compounds have a —– shape
Crystal shape
Ion
Is an atom that has become electrically charged because it has loist or gained one or more electrons
A positive ion is an atom that has
lost one or more electrons
A posititve ion is known as
a cation
A negative ion is a ion that has
gained one or more electrons
A negative ion is known as a
anion
polyatomic Ions
sometimes groups of atoms act as one and carry either a + or - charge. When this happens the entire group of atoms act as a single ion
Molecular coumponds are —— that result from the combination of ———
Pure substances
