what are the types of chemical bonds?
ionic and covalent
Ionic atoms lose or gain electrons to form?
ions
Ionic bonds have attraction between
between +ve and –ve ions
ionic bonds occur mainly between
metals and non-metals
types of ionic bonds (give example)
sodium chloride, magnesium oxide, calcium hydroxide
SCMOCH
Noble gases are unreactive (inert) as they have a
COMPLETE VALENCE electron shell.
Noble gases do not need to
lose, gain or share electrons with other elements.
Metals(Groups 1, 2, 13 etc.) lose electrons to form
cations(positive ions)
Non-metals(Groups 15, 16, 17) gain electrons to form
anions (negative ions).
Atoms will lose or gain electrons to achieve
noble gas electronic configuration(duplet or octet electronic configuration)
Why do atoms want to achieve noble gas electronic configuration
as this makes the atoms very stable and unreactive (inert).
A positive ion (cation) is formed
when an atom (usually a metal) loses valence electron(s).
Cations have a —– charge (more protons than electrons) and usually have a ———-
net positive, noble gas electronic configuration
Metals in the same group (Groups 1, 2 and 13) forms ions with the —–
same charges.
Group 1 metals have —– valence electron.
Group 2 metals have —— valence electron.
one, two
A negative ion (anion) is formed when an atom (usually a non-metal)
gains electron(s).
Anions have a ———– charge (fewer protons than electrons) and have a ——————
net negative, noble gas electronic configuration.
Non-metals in the same group (Groups 15, 16 and 17) forms ions with the
same charges.
An ionic bond is the ———-
*electrostatic attraction between ions of opposite charges.
We can represent ionic compounds using —————- diagrams.
