Ionic Bonds Assessment

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically between a metal and a non-metal.

Front

What happens to metals during ionic bonding?

Back

Metals tend to lose electrons during ionic bonding, resulting in the formation of positively charged ions (cations).

What is the charge of a sodium ion (Na+)?

Back

The charge of a sodium ion (Na+) is +1, as it loses one electron.

Front

What is the charge of a chloride ion (Cl-)?

Back

The charge of a chloride ion (Cl-) is -1, as it gains one electron.

Front

How do you name an ionic compound?

Back

An ionic compound is named by stating the name of the cation (metal) first, followed by the name of the anion (non-metal) with its ending changed to '-ide' or the appropriate polyatomic ion name.

What is the formula for lithium nitrate?

Back

The formula for lithium nitrate is LiNO3.

Front

What is the formula for magnesium carbonate?

Back

The formula for magnesium carbonate is MgCO3.

Front

How do you determine the formula of an ionic compound?

Back

To determine the formula of an ionic compound, balance the total positive and negative charges of the ions to ensure the compound is neutral.

Front

What is the formula for sodium bromide?

Back

The formula for sodium bromide is NaBr.

Front

What is a polyatomic ion?

Back

A polyatomic ion is a charged entity composed of two or more atoms bonded together, which can be either positively or negatively charged.
