Ionic Bonding Flashcards
What is chemical bonding?
A chemical bond is an postive and negative electrostatic attraction between particle
which group has a full outer shell
Group 0
what happens when elements don’t have a full outer shell ?
Elements are unstable and undergo bonding to become stable
what are three types of bonding ?
Covalent,metallic and ionic
what is ionic bonding?
Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
What happens when atoms become ions ?
Atoms become ions by losing or gaining electrons
what happens when atoms lose electrons
They become postively charged iions called cations
what happens when atoms gain electrons
They become negatively charged ions called anions
When does ionic bonding occur?
Between a metal and non-metal
What happens to the electrons in the metal during ionic bonding ?
The metal loses electrons on theouter shell
What happens to the electrons in a non-metal in ionic bonding?
the non-metal gains electrons on the outer shell
What happens to the electrons in a metal during ionic bonding?
The metal loses electrons
What do the metal and non-metal form
and what force are they held by?
Metals form a positive ion and non-metals form a negative ion are held by the strong electrostatic force of attraction
What is an ion?
An ion is a positively charged or negatively charged particles
Why are ionic compounds giant lattice?
Ions are held together by strong electrostatic force of attraction ionic compounds for giant lattice
