Question
Answer
What do atoms form when they combine with atoms of another element   Compounds  
🗑
What holds atoms together in a compound   Chemical bond  
🗑
How many electrons do the noble gases (group VIII) have on their outer shell   8, they have a full outer shell  
🗑
Are group VIII elements stable or unstable   Stable  
🗑
What does the Octet Rule state   Atoms bond together so that each atom ends up with an electron arrangement with 8 electrons in its outermost shell  
🗑
When is an ionic bond formed   When electrons are given of taken by atoms  
🗑
What is an ion   A positively or negatively charged atom or group of atoms  
🗑
If an atom loses electrons does it become positively or negatively charged   Positively  
🗑
If an atom gains electrons does it become positively or negatively charged   Negatively  
🗑
A sodium atom has an electronic configuration of 2, 8, 1, is it stable   No, it easily loses its outer electron  
🗑
A chlorine atom has an electronic configuration of 2, 8, 7, is it stable   No, it will easily gain an electron  
🗑
If sodium loses it electron what does it become   Sodium ion with a charge of +1  
🗑
If chlorine gains an electron what does it become   Chlorine ion with a charge of -1  
🗑
Is a chlorine ion and a sodium ion attracted to one another   Yes because they have opposite charges  
🗑
When a chlorine ion and a sodium ion, bond with one another, what is formed   Sodium chloride  
🗑
Does a chlorine ion have a full outer shell   Yes, it gains one  
🗑
Does a sodium ion have a full outer shell   Yes, it loses one  
🗑
A magnesium atom has an electronic configuration of 2, 8, 2, is it stable   No, it needs to lose 2 electrons  
🗑
If Mg loses 2 electrons, what does it become   Magnesium ion, with a full outer shell  
🗑
An oxygen atom has an electronic configuration of 2, 6, is it stable   No, it needs to gain 2 electrons  
🗑
If oxygen gains 2 electrons, what does it become   Oxygen ion with a full outer shell  
🗑
When a magnesium ion and an oxygen ion bond together what is formed   Magnesium oxide  
🗑
How is an ionic bond formed   Ir is formed by the force of attraction between a positive and a negative ion  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
