| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what are the 2 big questions that chemists ask? | 1. what is this stuff? 2. what happens when I mix it together? |
| how many valence electrons do all atoms have? are there any exceptions to this? if so, what are they? | 8 - the octet rule / yes / hydrogen and helium (they only want 2 valence electrons) |
| what is the driving force making an atom want to bond? | it is trying to achieve / get to 8 valence electrons |
| in an ionic bond, one atom ___________ electrons to the other atom | transfers |
| in a covalent bond, the two atoms __________ electrons | share |
| an ionic bond forms between a _________ and a ____________. This results in a new substance called a ___________. | metal and a non-metal (the metal gives the electron - the non-metal receives it) // compound |
| compounds: an ionic bond forms a ______________ a covalent bond forms a _____________ | compound // molecule |
| a covalent bond is made up of 2 _____________ that are sharing electrons | non-metals |
| do substances that bond ionically and covalently have the same properties? | no |
| List some properties of substances formed by ionic bonds? | solid / crystals / break along the edges / high melting points |
| List some properties of substances formed by covalent bonds? | gases or liquids / can be formed with single bonds (sharing 1 electron), double bonds (sharing 2 electrons), triple bonds (sharing 3 electrons), etc. |
| when writing the chemical formula for a metal and a non-metal: 1. check that you have a _________ and a ________________ 2. Determine the ____________ of each ion 3. Combine the ions such that the compound is ________ | 1. metal and a non-metal 2. charge 3. neutral |
