?
What are ions?
Ions are electrically charged particles formed when atoms lose or gain electrons.
1 of 25
Which atoms usually gain electrons to form negative ions?
Non-metal
2 of 25
Which atoms usually gain electrons to form positivie ions?
Metals
3 of 25
What ionic bonding?
Ionic bonding is when atoms lose or gain an electron to form charged particles which are then strongly attracted to each other
4 of 25
What do metal atoms do?
Lose the electron(s), in their highest energy level and become positively charged ion
5 of 25
What do non-metal atoms do?
Gain an electron, from another atom to become negatively charged ions
6 of 25
When you lose an atom what ion sign are you?
A plus (+0
7 of 25
When you gain an atom what ion sign are you?
A minus (-)
8 of 25
What are atoms that have lost or gained an electron called?
Ions
9 of 25
What are ionic bonds between?
A metal and non metal
10 of 25
Do elements from group 7 form positive ions or negative ions?
Positive (lose electrons)
11 of 25
Do elements from group 1 form negative ions or negative ions?
Negative (gain electrons)

Sodium chloride has a giant ionic structure. Does it have a high or low boiling point?
Low boiling point
13 of 25
What is the atomic number?
Is the number of protons
14 of 25
What is the mass number?
Total of protons and neutrons
15 of 25
Explain what is meant by the term isotope
They are different atomic forms of the same element, which have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
16 of 25
Name to types of isotopes
Carbon 12 and Carbon 14
17 of 25
Give three properties of ionic bodning
1. High melting and boiling points due to the s
18 of 25
Why do ionic bonds have a high melting and boiling point?
Due to stong electrostatic forces between the oppositely ions
19 of 25
Explain why giant ionic structures such as magnesium fluoride don't melt easily
Because, there are strong electrostatic forces between ion, so a large amount of energy is needed to overcome these forces
20 of 25
When can ionic bonds conduct electricity?
When molten or dissolved in water
21 of 25
What happens when ionic bonds are molten or dissolved in water?
The ions are free to move and they carry an electric current. Which allows them to conduct electricity
22 of 25
How are ionic bond held together?
They are held together by strong electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions
23 of 25
What is a covalent bond?
Is a strong bond between two non-metal atoms. It consists of a shared pair of electrons.
24 of 25
What are covalent bonds between?
Metal and non-metals
