QuestionAnswer
Why do atoms gain or lose electrons? To get a full outer shell.
What do group 2 atoms do when they form ions? Lose 2 electrons.
What do group 7 atoms do when they from ions? Gain 1 electron.
What name is given to:- a) a positive ion? b) a negative ion? a)cation b)anion
What charges to ions from groups 1, 2 and 3 have? +1, +2, +3
What charges to ions from groups 5,6 and 7 have? -3, -2, -1
What is the formula of calcium chloride? (Calcium ion = Ca2+, Chloride ion = Cl-) CaCl2
What is the formula of magnesium hydroxide? (Magnesium ion = Mg2+, Hydroxide ion = OH-) Mg(OH)2
What is an ionic bond? An electrostatic force of attraction between two oppositely charged ions.
What is an ionic lattice? A 3D structure of alternating anions and cations in a regular arrangement held together by ionic bonds.
Why do ionic compounds have high melting points? Because melting needs a lot of energy to break strong ionic bonds.
When do ionic compounds not conduct electricity? When they are in the solid state.
Why do ionic compounds conduct electricity when they are molten or dissolved in water? Because the ions are able to move to carry a charge.
Why do atoms transfer electrons in ionic bonding? So that they can have full outer shells
Explain in terms of electrons what occurs when lithium bonds with fluorine One electron transferred from lithium to fluorine
Explain in terms of electrons what occurs when magnesium bonds with oxygen Two electrons transferred from magnesium to oxygen
Explain in terms of electrons what occurs when beryllium bonds with oxygen Two electrons transferred from beryllium to oxygen
Explain in terms of electrons what occurs when magnesium bonds with chlorine One electron transferred from magnesium to two different chlorine atoms
Explain in terms of electrons what occurs when sodium bonds with oxygen Two electrons transferred to an oxygen atom from two different sodium atoms
Why do sodium ions and chlorine ions form an ionic bond? There is an electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions
Why don't sulphur ions and oxygen ions form ionic bonds with each other? Both have negative charges so would repel
What is the name for the structure made of billions of oppositely charged ions joined together? Giant ionic lattice
Define giant ionic lattice A huge 3D network of ions
Will NaCl(s) conduct electricity? No
Will NaCl (aq) conduct electricity? Yes (aq stands for aqueous which means it is dissolved in water)
Will NaCl (l) conduct electricity? Yes
What does molten mean? Melted
Explain why ionic compounds do not conduct electricity when solid Because the ions are not free to move
Explain why ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten or in solution Because the ions are free to move
In ionic bonds, electrons are ___________________ Transferred
Explain in terms of electrons what occurs when lithium bonds with chlorine One electron transferred from lithium to chlorine
Lithium is in Group 1, What charge will an ion of lithium have? 1+ (one electron in the outer shell, needs to lose it)
Berrylium is in Group 2. What charge will an ion of beryllium take? 2+ (two electrons in the outer shell, needs to lose them both)
Barium is in Group 2. What charge will an ion of barium take? 2+ (group 2 so two electrons in the outer shell, needs to lose them both)
Fluorine is Group 7. What charge will an ion of fluorine take? 1- (7 electrons in the outer shell, needs to gain one)
If something has gained electrons, what charge will it have? Negative
If something has lost electrons, what charge will it have? Positive (because they have lost a negative!)
Oxygen is in Group 6. What charge will an ion of oxygen take? 2- (6 electrons in outer shell so needs to gain two)
What is an ion? an atom which has lost or gained an electron
How many electrons, protons and neutrons in a sodium ion Na+ ? 11 protons, 12 neutrons, 10 electrons
If a compound name ends in -ide what does this show? It is a molecule made of 2 elements only.
How many electrons, protons and neutrons in an oxide ion O2- ? 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 10 electrons
How many electrons, protons and neutrons in a chloride ion Cl- ? 17 protons, 18 neutrons, 18 electrons
How many electrons, protons and neutrons in a magnesium ion Mg2+ ? 12 protons, 12 neutrons, 10 electrons
What elements are in potassium hydroxide? potassium, oxygen and hydrogen
What elements are in iron carbonate iron, carbon and oxygen
What types of atoms do covalent bonds form between? Non-metal and non-metal atoms.
What is a covalent bond? A shared pair of electrons.
What is a double bond? A bond formed when atoms share two pairs of electrons.
How many covalent bonds do atoms from group 4 form? 4
How many covalent bonds do atoms from group 5 form? 3
How many covalent bonds do atoms from group 6 form? 2
How many covalent bonds do atoms from group 7 form? 1
Draw the dot and cross diagram of a hydrogen molecule.
Draw the dot and cross diagram of a hydrogen chloride molecule.
Draw the dot and cross diagram of a water molecule.
Draw the dot and cross diagram of a methane molecule.
Draw the dot and cross diagram of an oxygen molecule.
Draw the dot and cross diagram of a carbon dioxide molecule.
Complete the sentence: In covalent bonds, electrons are _______________________ Shared
