structure of a noble gas
8 of 31
the oppositely charged ions attract eachother in the ionic compound what is this called
ionic bonding
9 of 31
ionic bonding holds...
oppositely charged ions together in giant structures
10 of 31
strong electrostatic forces of attraction act in...
all directions
11 of 31
each ion in the gian structure is surrounded by...
ions with a opposite charge so it is held firmly in place
12 of 31
what can we use dot and cross diagramsto represent...
the atoms and ion involved in forming ionic bonds
13 of 31
ionic compounds are...
neutral
14 of 31
if you know the charge of each ion in a compound how can you work out its formula
balancing the charges
15 of 31
the charge on simple ions can be worked out by...
the number of the group
16 of 31
transition metals charge on the ion is worked out by
the roman numeral on the name of the compound
17 of 31
some ions are made up of more than...
one element
18 of 31
to write out the formula for the ions with more than one element you..
use brakcets e.g Ca(OH)2
19 of 31
how do atoms of nin metals achieve a stable structure?
gain electrons
20 of 31
to gain electrons what has to happen?
share electrons with other atoms
21 of 31
each shared pair of electrons strongly attracts two atoms what does this create
a covalent bond
22 of 31
what are the substances that have aroms held together with covalent bonding called?
molecules
23 of 31
how many electrons does group 7 need to gain to form a single covalent bond?
one
24 of 31
what does a covalent bond only act between?
two atoms
25 of 31
what makes a giant covalent structure?
joining together of atoms
26 of 31
what can giant covalent structures be referred to as?
macromolecules
27 of 31
How can we represent covalent compounds
through showing electrons and lines
28 of 31
what size are the atoms in a metallic element?
all the same size
29 of 31
what is metallic bonding?
when metal atoms pack together the electrons in the highest energy level delocalise and can move freely between atoms
30 of 31
What do the delocalised electrons do ?
attract the positive ions and hold together the giant structure
