Answer 15

Cations (+)
Anions (-)

Question 16

Definition of:
Cations

Answer 16

Positively charged ions that most commonly form when metals lose electrons

Question 17

Definition of:
Anions

Answer 17

Negatively charged ions that most commonly form when non-metals gain electrons

Question 18

How are ions formed?

Answer 18

When metals and non metals form ionic compounds

Question 19

Definition of:

Answer 19

The electrons located in the outermost energy level of an atom

Question 20

How can we determine the amount of valence electrons an atom has?

Answer 20

The group number the atom is located in.

Question 21

What is the Octet Rule?

Answer 21

Atoms will bond in such a way as to have 8 electrons in their outermost energy level

Question 22

How are ionic compounds formed?

Answer 22

When electrons transfer from one atom to another

Answer 23

A metal and a non-metal

Question 24

Properties of ionic compounds

Answer 24

• Solid at room temperature
• Dissolve in water
• Conduct electricity

Question 25

How do you properly name an ionic compound?

Answer 25

The cation is named first with the elements name, and the anion is named second with the end of its name changed to "ide"

Question 26

Definition of: Multivalent elements

Answer 26

Elements with more than one stable ion

Question 27

Definition of: Polyatiomic ions

Answer 27

Ions usually made up of two or more non-metals joined together

Question 28

True or False: You have to change the anion name in a ionic compound even if it's a polyatomic ion

Answer 28

False: If the anion is a polyatomic ion, the ending should not be changed

Answer 30

False: Molecular compounds can be either a solid, liquid, or gas

Question 31

What's the difference(s) between an ionic compound and a molecular compound

Answer 31

1. Ionic compounds are made from a metal and a non-metal, while a molecular compound is made from 2 non-metals 2. Ionic compounds dissolve in water while molecular usually do not 3. Ionic compounds are solid at room temperature, while molecular compounds can be solid, liquid, or gas
