Ionic Bonding

Question 1

What types of atoms form ionic bonds?

Answer 1

A non-metal and a metal

Question 2

Are ionic binds strong or weak?

Answer 2

Very strong

Question 3

What is an ionic bond?

Answer 3

An ionic bind is the electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged metal ions and the negatively charged non-metal ion.

Question 4

What happens in an ionic bond?

Answer 4

An Metal Atom Loses an electron to form a positive ion and a non-metal atom will gain electron to form a negative ion.

Question 5

What is OILRIG?

Answer 5

Oxidation is losing, reduction is gaining

Question 6

What do ionic compounds form?

Answer 6

Giant ionic lattice

Question 7

What is a giant ionic lattice?

Answer 7

Regular repeating arrangement of metal and non-metal ions which creates a compound. It has a very high melting point and boiling point

Question 8

Do ionic substances dissolve in water or non-aqueous solutions?

Answer 8

Some dissolve in water but nine dissolve in non-aqueous solutions

Question 9

Conductivity of ionic compounds

Answer 9

Conduct when molten or in solution

Question 10

What are some ionic compounds not soluble?

Answer 10

Due to extremely strong bonds within the ionic lattice.

Question 11

What is electrolysis?

Answer 11

Electrolysis is the breaking up of an ionic solution using electricity.

Question 12

Why must I direct current power supply be used?

Answer 12

to allow the products of electrolysis to be identified.
