Unit 9B- Recall Questions- Ionic And Mettalic Bonding

Question 1

How are positive ions formed?

Answer 1

Through the loss of electrons

Question 2

How are negative ions formed?

Answer 2

Through the gain of electrons

Question 3

In which groups of the periodic table do atoms form positive ions

Answer 3

Groups 1, 2, 3 (they lose electrons from their outer shell)

Question 4

In which groups of the periodic table do atoms form negative ions?

Answer 4

Groups 5, 6, 7 (they gain electrons to fill their outer shell)

Question 5

Between which elements does ionic bonding occur?

Answer 5

Metals and non-metals

Question 6

How are ‘ionic bonds’ formed?

Answer 6

Through the transfer of electrons between atoms

Question 7

What are ‘ionic bonds’ otherwise known as?

Answer 7

Electrostatic forces (between oppositely charged ions)

Question 8

Describe the structure of a solid ionic compound.

Answer 8

Lattice structure - regular arrangement of ions held together by strong electrostatic bonds between ions

Question 9

When two substances bond through ionic bonding, what does the name of the compound usually end in?

Answer 9

-ide

Question 10

What does it mean if the name of a compound ends in -ate?

Answer 10

It contains oxygen in addition to the other elements

Question 11

Describe the structure of metals.

Answer 11

Positive ions (cations) held together by a ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons
