Ionic bonding Flashcards
1
Q
what is the deffinition of iconic bonding?
A
when metals and non-metals react, charged particles are formed called ions
2
Q
what is an ion?
A
ions are charged atoms with full outer shell of electrons
3
Q
what is ionic bonding?
A
it is the electrostatic force of atraction between oppositely charged ions
4
Q
what happens in ionic bonding?
A
- metal ions lose electrons to form positive ions
- non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions
5
Q
what are properties of ionic compounds?
A
the positive metal ions and negative non-metal ions are aranged in a regular, repeating 3D called a Giant ionic Lattica
