Chapter 26, 27

Revise Chemical bonding and Chemical reactions.

QuestionAnswer
What is a compound? A combination of two or more elements bonded chemically.
Why do atoms combine to form compounds? To have a stable (full) outer shell.
What are the two ways that atoms can combine to form compounds? Ionic and Covalent bonding.
What is an ionic bond? Ionic bonding is where one element give away an electron and the other takes it so both have full outer shells.
Why do compounds form ionic bonds? Because both elements are unstable naturally and so come together to balance out.
What groups in the periodic table form ionic bonds together? Group 1 and group 7.
How many electrons does sodium want to lose when it bonds with chlorine? 1
How many electrons does magnesium want to lose when it bonds with oxygen? 2
What is a covalent bonds? A covalent bond is when two elements become joined to share electrons.
Why do compounds form covalent bonds? An element with 4 electrons in its outer shell will bond with another element with 4 electron in its outer shell to share 8 electrons and become stable.
How many electrons does hydrogen want to share when it bonds covalently? Why? 1 because it needs an extra one to gain a full outer shell of 2.
How many electrons does carbon want to share when it bonds covalently? 4 so it fills to 8 up the outer shell.
What are the differences between ionic and covalent substances? Ionic bonds give away an electron and covalent share electrons.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
