Question
Answer
Ion -   an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.  
🗑
What happens to an ion if it loses or gains and electron   loses - becomes a positive ion gains - becomes a negative ion  
🗑
Ionic bond -   an attraction between negative and positively charged ions  
🗑
Polyatomic ion -   A polyatomic ion is an ion made of two or more atoms to create a polyatomic ion  
🗑
What comes first when writing ionic formulas   metals  
🗑
What happens to the ending of ionic compounds   add -ide  
🗑
How do you create a ionic compound formula given oxidation numbers   Calcium chloride - Ca+2 Cl -1 it takes two calciums to match chloride  
🗑
Identify the properties of ionic compounds   - high melting points - when dissolved in water can conduct electricity - hard, brittle, crystals - as a solid in room temperature ions do not conduct electricity well  
🗑
Covalent bond -   Bond made between at least 2 Non-metal atoms, that share electrons  
🗑
What's the main difference between ionic and covalent bonds   An ionic bond essentially donates an electron to the other atom participating in the bond, while electrons in a covalent bond are shared equally between the atoms. The only pure covalent bonds occur between identical atoms  
🗑
What do covalent bonds usually form as   2 non-metals  
🗑
What atoms stay attracted to each other   covalent  
🗑
What are the properties of molecular compounds   - low melting and boiling points - do not usually conduct electricity when dissolved in water  
🗑
What's the difference between polar and nonpolar bonds   polar - bond where electrons are unequally shared nonpolar - bond where electrons are equally shared  
🗑
How come some atoms in covalent bonds become slightly negative or slightly positive.   when they pull more or less strongly on shared electrons  
🗑
How are metal atoms bonded in solid metal   most metals have 1, 2, or 3 valence electrons  
🗑


   

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.
