- Sometimes when atoms react together they trasfer electrons to form chemical bond. This happens when metals react with non metals.
- If reacting atoms are NON metals the atoms share electrons to form chemical bonds.
- When a metal bonds with a non metal, metal atom gives out one or more electrons to the non metal ...
- Both atoms become charged particle ions.
- Metal atoms form positively charged ions (+)
- Non metal atoms form negatively charged ions (-)
- Opposite charges attract each other
- Strong forces are between positive and negative ions in a compound of a metal and a non metal
- Strong forces of attraction are the iconic bonds which form.
- Strong forces are between positive and negative ions in a compound of a metal and a non metal
- Example:
- Lithium metal will react with non metal - flourine.
- Lithium has 3 electrons all negatively charged.
- All atoms are neutral so we know it has 3 positive protons in its nucleus
- Lithium has 3 electrons all negatively charged.
- Lithium metal will react with non metal - flourine.
- Sometimes when atoms react together they trasfer electrons to form chemical bond. This happens when metals react with non metals.
