Review of cations and anions

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
overall charge of an ionic compound   neutral  
🗑
groups that are cations   1A , 2A , 3A  
🗑
groups that are anions   5A , 6A, 7A  
🗑
ion type that keeps the same name of the element   cation  
🗑
ending of the name of all anions   ide  
🗑
outside/outermost electrons ; responsible for chemical properties   valence  
🗑
change in the number of electrons   ion  
🗑
electrons that are closer to the nucleus of atom   core  
🗑
Visual representation of valence electrons only   Lewis Dot structure  
🗑
the charge of cations   positive  
🗑
the charge of anions   negative  
🗑
says that atoms of elements need 8 valence electrons to be stable   octet rule  
🗑
cations do this with valence electrons   lose them  
🗑
anions do this with valence electrons   gain til they have 8  
🗑
compound made between a cation and anion   ionic  
🗑
this happens to electrons in ionic bond   transfer from cation to anion  
🗑
element already stable with 2 valence electrons   Helium [He]  
🗑
elements in this group do not react with others; already stable   8A / Noble Gases  
🗑
the number of valence electrons match this number   group number  
🗑
ability to attract electrons from nearby atoms   electronegativity  
🗑
name of group 7A ions only   halide  
🗑
fastest method to predict formula of ionic compound   criss-cross  
🗑
the number of total electrons matches this number   atomic number  
🗑
   
🗑
   
🗑
   
🗑


   

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.
