Ionic bonds.
1 of 20
What does the formula of an ionic compound show?
The simplest ratio of ions.
2 of 20
What do compounds of non-metals have?
Covalent bonds.
3 of 20
What does the formula of a molecule show?
The number of atoms in the molecule.
4 of 20
What do different elements form when they combine?
Compounds.
5 of 20
What is formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal?
Ions.
6 of 20
When ions are formed, what happens to the metal atoms?
They lose one or more electrons to form positively charged ions.
7 of 20
When ions are formed, what happens to the non-metal atoms?
They gain electrons to form negatively charged ions.
8 of 20
When ions are formed, what happens?
The oppositely charged ions attract each other strongly and the compound has ionic bonds.
9 of 20
What does the chemical formula of an ionic compound tell us?
The simplest ratio of ions in the compound.
10 of 20
What does the chemical formula NaCl show us?
That sodium chloride is made from equal numbers of sodium ions and chloride ions.
11 of 20
Wha happens when non-metals combine?
Their atoms share electrons to form covalent bonds and molecules are formed.
12 of 20
What does the chemical formula of a molecule tell us?
The number of atoms that have bonded together in the molecule.
13 of 20
What does H_(2)O show us?
That a water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
14 of 20
How can covalent bonds be shown when written?
As lines between the atoms that are bonded together.
15 of 20
What are examples of compounds with ionic bonds?
Any metal and non-metal compound such as sodium chloride, magnesium oxide.
16 of 20
Wha does the formula CaCl_(2) tell us about the compound calcium chloride?
Made from one calcium ion for every two chloride ions.
17 of 20
What does the formula C_(3)H_(8) tell us about the compound propane?
It is made from three carbon atoms and eight hydrogen atoms.

**THE FORMULA FOR IONIC COMPOUNDS AND METALLIC ELEMENTS IS THE SIMPLEST POSSIBLE RATIO, SUCH AS MgCl_(2) OR NaCl****
***FOR SUBSTANCES MADE OF MOLECULES THE FORMULA SHOWS THE NUMBER OF ATOMS IN THE MOLECULE, SUCH AS O_(2) OR C_(2)H_(6)****
