chemistry bonding

?
Which atoms usually gain electrons to form negative ions?
Non-metal atoms
1 of 21
Metal atoms form:
Metal atoms form positive ions by losing electrons.
2 of 21
ionic bonding?
An ionic bond is the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
3 of 21
Sodium chloride conducts electricity when:
Sodium chloride conducts electricity when molten or in solution.
4 of 21
The structure of magnesium oxide is a:
giant ionic lattice.
5 of 21
Why does sodium chloride have a lower melting point than magnesium chloride?
Sodium ions are larger and have a smaller charge than magnesium ions, so the ionic bonds are weaker.
6 of 21
How many electrons are involved in each covalent bond?
Two
