Ionic Bonding (pg 113

Question 1

What three types of bonding are there to bond particles together?

Answer 1

Ionic
Covalent
Matallic

Question 2

What is Ionic Bonding?

Answer 2

The transfer of electrons

Question 3

What happens when a metal and a non metal react together?

Answer 3

the metal atom loses electrons to form a positively charged ion, and the non-metal gains these electrons to form a negativey charged ion

These oppositely charged ions are strongly attracted to one another by electrostatic forces. this attraction is called ionic bond

Question 4

When opposite charged ions are strongly attracted to one another by electrostatic forces, what is this attraction called?

Answer 4

Ionic Bond

Question 5

What do a Dot and Cross Diagram show?

Answer 5

it shows how Ionic Compounds are formed.

The diagram shows the arrangement of electrons in an atom or ion. Each electron is represented by a dot or a cross. so these diagrams can show which atom the electrons in an ion originally came from. (see diagram on page 113)

Question 6

Dot and Cross diagrams are useful for showing how ionic compounds are formed, but what dont they show?

Answer 6

They don’t show the structure of the compound, the size of the ions or how they’re arranged.

Question 7

describe in terms of electron transfer, how sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) react to form sodium chloride (NaCl)? ( 3 marks)

Answer 7

Each sodium atom loses an electron to form an Na+ ion (1 mark)
Each chlorine atom gains an electron to form a Cl- ion (1 mark)
The oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other by electrostatic attraction (1 mark)
