Ionic Bonding Practice

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

What is the ionic compound formed between Calcium (Ca) and Oxygen (O)?

Back

CaO

Front

How is an ionic bond formed?

Back

By the transfer of electrons between atoms.

Front

What is the formula for calcium arsenide?

Back

Ca₃As₂

Front

What is the formula for barium and nitrogen?

Back

Ba₃N₂

Front

What is the charge on a Hydrogen ion?

Back

+1

Front

What is the general formula for ionic compounds?

Back

The general formula is represented as AB, where A is a cation and B is an anion.

Front

What is a cation?

Back

A cation is a positively charged ion that is formed when an atom loses one or more electrons.

Front

What is an anion?

Back

An anion is a negatively charged ion that is formed when an atom gains one or more electrons.

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.
