Summer Assessments 2 Flashcards
What are ions
charged particles
Why do atoms lose/ gain electrons
to form ions as they are trying to get a full outer shell as atoms with a full outer shell are very stable
What are negative ions and when do they form
anions
-form when atoms gain electrons
What are positive ions and when do they form
cations
-form when atoms lose electrons
What are the charges for metals in Groups 1, 2, 3
-lose electrons to form positive ions so:
Group 1 elements form 1+ ions
Group 2 elements form 2+ ions
Group 3 elements form 3+ ions
What are the charges for non-metals in Groups 5, 6, 7
-non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions so:
Group 5 elements form 3- ions
Group 6 elements form 2- ions
Group 7 elements form 1- ions
Name 6 ions and there charges that go against the normal
Ag+ Cu2+ Fe2+ Fe3+ Pb2+ Zn2+
Name 6 elements and there charges that go against the normal idea
Hydrogen (H+), hydroxide (OH–), ammonium (NH4+), carbonate (CO32–),
nitrate (NO3-)
sulfate (SO42–).
What does ionic bonding involve
a metal and a non-metal
Describe ionic bonding in terms of electrostatic attractions
Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
Why do compounds with giant ionic lattices have high melting and boiling
points
ions are held together in a closely packed 3D lattice arrangement by the attraction between oppositely charged ions
- the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions is very strong
- as a result of this a lot of energy is needed to overcome the strong attraction
- hence why ionic compounds have high melting and boiling point
When can ionic compounds conduct electricity
- conduct
electricity when molten and in aqueous solution
-can’t conduct electricity when solid
Name the 3 physical properties of ionic compounds
- high melting point
- high boiling point
- can conduct electricity when molten or when dissolved in water
What do compounds with ionic bonding always have
giant ionic structure
What diagram is used to show the transfer of electrons in ionic bondidng
A dot and cross diagram
