Unit 1 - Ionic Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
Ionic Bonding Definition
A
Strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
2
Q
Ionic Bonding Properties
A
- It is the GAINING or LOSING of Electrons
- Between metals and non metals
- Strong Bond
- High MP + BP
- They do conduct electricity
3
Q
How are Positive and Negative ions formed ?
A
- Positive ions are formed when electrons are LOST
- Negatives ions are formed when electrons are GAINED
4
Q
OILRIG Definition
A
Oxidation Is Lost Reduction Is Gained
5
Q
High MP+BP Properties
A
High MP + BP :
- Smaller Ionic Radius
- Larger ionic charge
- Less electrons, and less shielding
- A lot of energy required to break the electrostatic forces
- Electrons ARE held in tightly
- Strong Bonds
6
Q
Low MP+BP Properties
A
Low MP+BP:
- Larger ionic radius
- Smaller charge
- More Electrons and more shielding
- NOT MUCH energy required to break the electrostatic forces
- Electrons are NOT held in tightly
- Weak bonds
