Chapter 6: Ionic and Molecular Compounds Flashcards
Chemical bonds are formed when…..
when atoms lose, gain, or share valence electrons to acquire an octet of eight valence electrons
Ionic bonds occur when…
when the valence electrons of atoms of a metal are transferred to atoms of NONmetal
Covalent bonds occur when…
form when atoms of NONmetals share valence electrons
Best way to remember covalent vs ionic?
Ionic…iconic couple….metal/nonmetal…male/female
Atoms form positively charged ions when they lose _____ and negatively charged ions when they gain _____
electrons; electrons
Group 1A, 2A, and 3A readily lose one or more of their ______ electrons to form ions with a + charge
Valence
What do elements in groups 1-3 have to do to end up with the same number of valence electrons as the nearest noble gas?
Lose electrons
What do elements in groups 5-8 have to do to end up with an octet?
Gain one or more valence electrons to form ions with a negative charge
Na+ and O^2-?
Na2O
Al^3+ and Cl- ?
AlCl3
Mg^2+ and N^3-?
Mg3N2
Ionic compounds, which is a metal/nonmetal compound, is named how?
The name of the METAL is written first, and is the same name as the element. The nonmetal is the first syllable of it’s name with an -ide ending. ex: KI is Potassium iodIDE
Name mgBr^2
Magnesium(metal) bromIDE (nonmetal)
Name K2O
Potassium Oxide
Name CaO
Calcium Oxide
Name Al 2 S 3
Aluminum sulfide
Name MgCl2
Magnesium Chloride
