Q

This question is about electrons

All elements in the same period have the same no. of …..

A

occupied electron shells.

(e.g. all period 3 elements have 3 occupied shells)

24
Q

Ion

A

A charged atom formed when an atom has gained or lost electrons

25
Q

Why do atoms form ions?

A

To gain a full outer shell of electrons.

This makes them more stable.

26
Q

Ions have the same electron arrangement as the nearest ….

A

Noble gas

27
Q

What is wrong with the charge shown?

Zn+2

A

Number must be written first, then sign:

Zn2+

28
Q

What is wrong with the charge shown?

3–N

A

Charge must be on the right:

N3–

29
Q

Explain why noble gases do not form ions.

A

They already have a full outer shell.

30
Q

The number of protons. Defines an element.

A

Atomic number

31
Q

Are metal ions positive or negative?

A

Positive

32
Q

Are non-metal ions positive or negative?

A

Negative

33
Q

The number of protons and neutrons

A

Mass number

34
Q

A charged atom formed when an atom has gained or lost electrons

A

Ion

35
Q

State the structure of noble gases.

A

Monatomic (exist as single atoms).

36
Q

Valency

A

The no. of bonds an atom can make

37
Q

What is the valency of elements in groups 1–4?

A

1, 2, 3, 4 – same as the group number

(e.g. Ca is in group 2, valency = 2)

38
Q

What is the valency of elements in groups 5–8?

A

3, 2, 1, 0 – same as the no. of electrons needed to get a full outer shell

(e.g. Cl is in group 7, valency = 1)

39
Q

What does the (III) mean in iron(III) oxide?

A

Valency of iron is 3

(III = roman numeral 3)

40
Q

The valencies of two elements are shown.

Fe N

2 3

What do you do to get the formula for a compound of Fe and N?

A

We must cross over the valencies:

Fe3N2

41
Q

The valencies of two elements were crossed over, giving the following formula:

Mn2O4

What must be done next?

A

We must simplify the formula (to the simplest whole number ratio, so 2 : 4 = 1 : 2)

MnO2

42
Q

The charge number of an ion is equal to the element’s …

A

valency.

(e.g. O has valency 2, and charge 2–)

43
Q

Formula mass

A

The sum of all the masses of all the atoms present.

E.g. H2O: 2 x 1 + 1 x 16 = 18

44
Q

Ionic bonds form between …

A

metals and non-metals.

(e.g. NaCl)

45
Q

Covalent bonds form between …

A

non-metal atoms.

(e.g. CO)

46
Q

Ionic bond

A

The electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions.

47
Q

Covalent bond

A

The attraction two positive nuclei have for a shared pair of e−.

48
Q

Draw a diagram, showing all outer electrons, to represent a molecule of ammonia, NH3.

A
49
Q

Low melting point:

covalent or ionic?

A

Covalent

50
Q

Very high melting point:

covalent or ionic?

A

Ionic

51
Q

Structure of an ionic solid

A

Ionic lattice

52
Q

Type of bond formed between two non-metals

A

Covalent

53
Q

Type of bond formed between a metal an a non-metal

A

Ionic

54
Q

Conducts electricity:

covalent or ionic?

A

Ionic

55
Q

When can an ionic compound conduct electricity?

A

When molten or dissolved.

56
Q

The electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions.

A

An ionic bond

57
Q

There are two compounds, one ionic and one covalent.

How can you test them to find out which is which?

A

Conductivity test:

Does not conduct at all = covalent

Conducts when molten or dissolved = ionic
