Front

Define ionic bond.

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs between two ions with opposite charges, resulting from the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

Front

What are cations?

Back

Cations are positively charged ions that are formed when an atom loses one or more electrons.

Front

What are anions?

Back

Anions are negatively charged ions that are formed when an atom gains one or more electrons.

Front

How do you determine the charge of a monatomic ion?

Back

The charge of a monatomic ion is determined by the number of electrons lost or gained compared to the neutral atom.

Front

What is the significance of the octet rule in ionic bonding?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons, leading to stability.
