Question
Answer
Chemical bond   -the force that holds two atoms together -formed by the attraction of positive and negatives  
🗑
How do atoms form an octet?   -octect: full outer energy level  
🗑
What is a cation? How does it form? What types of elements lose electrons?   -cation: a positively-charged atom -forms when atoms lose electrons -metals lose electrons  
🗑
What is an anion? How does it form? What types of elements lose electrons?   -anion: a negatively charged atom -forms when electrons gain electrons -nonmetals gain electrons  
🗑
The electrostatic force that holds oppositely charged particles together in an ionic compound is an:   ionic bond  
🗑
What is an ionic compound?   compounds that contain ionic bonds  
🗑
Binary compounds contain:   a cation and an anion (ex: NaCl)  
🗑
Charge of group 1   +1  
🗑
Charge of group 2   +2  
🗑
Charge of group 13   +3  
🗑
Charge of group 14   +4  
🗑
Charge of group 15   -3  
🗑
Charge of group 16   -2  
🗑
Charge of group 17   -1  
🗑
Charge of group 18   no charge  
🗑
What is a crystal lattice?   -the repeating pattern of particle packing in an ionic compound -shap and pattern may vary based on ions  
🗑
Properties of ionic substances   -high melting/boiling point -solid at roomn temperature -brittle -molten solids conduct electricity 0awueous solutions conduct electricity -one particle is referred to as a formula unit  
🗑
Why do molten or aqueous solutions conduct electricity?   -in a solution of molten ions of an ionic bonds break apart (dissociation) -solids can't conduct electricity because they have bonds intact  
🗑
Endothemric   -take in heat  
🗑
Exothermic   -release heat  
🗑
The formation of ionic compounds from positive and negative ions is always   Exothermic  
🗑
What is a formula unit?   -the very simplest ratio of ions in an ionic compound  
🗑
What is a monotomic ion?   -elements when you can get their charge off of the periodic table  
🗑
How to write a formula for a binary ionic compound   -name the metal -name teh nonmetal, change ending to -ide  
🗑


   

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.
