What are characteristics of ionic compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points, are soluble in water, and conduct electricity when dissolved or molten.

Front

What is an ion?

Back

An ion is an atom or molecule that has a net electrical charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.

Front

What is the difference between cations and anions?

Back

Cations are positively charged ions (loss of electrons), while anions are negatively charged ions (gain of electrons).

Front

What is the significance of the octet rule in ion formation?

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 stable ion formation.

Front

How do ionic bonds form?

Back

Ionic bonds form through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically between metals and nonmetals.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the charge of an ion?

Back

The charge of an ion can be calculated by subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons in an atom.
