What is an ion?
A charged atom or atoms.
1 of 11
When is a positive ion made?
When an atom/atoms loses/lose one or more electron.
2 of 11
When is a negative ion made?
When an atom/atoms gains/gain one or more electrons.
3 of 11
What does a metal atom do in ionic bonging?
Lose all outer-shell electron.
4 of 11
What does a non-metal atom do in ionic bonding?
Gain electrons to fill its outer shell.
5 of 11
What can ionically bonded compounds do?
Dissolve in water, conduct electricity when in solution and conduct electricity when in molten.
6 of 11
What can't ionically bonded compounds do?
Melt easily and conduct electricity when solid.
7 of 11
What are the names of ionically bonded compounds with positive and negative ions that are strongly attracted to each other?
Giant ionic lattices.
8 of 11
Why can ionically bonded compounds conduct electricity in solution and molten?
The charged ions are free to move about to conduct a current.
9 of 11
How can you tell from just the original elements if the compound is ionically bonded?
One is a metal and one is a non-metal.
