Unit 3: Ionic Bonding Review

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.

What is the formula for Magnesium Chloride?

Back

MgCl_2

Front

How many potassium ions are needed to bond with one nitrogen ion?

Back

3 potassium ions (K) are needed to bond with one nitrogen ion (N) to form K3N.

Front

What happens to electrons in ionic bonds?

Back

In ionic bonds, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

Which element forms a +1 charge?

Back

Sodium (Na) forms a +1 charge.

Front

What is the correct formula for Sodium and Bromine bonding?

Back

NaBr

Front

What is the charge of a Magnesium ion?

Back

The charge of a Magnesium ion is +2.

Front

What type of elements typically form ionic bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds typically form between metals and non-metals.

Front

What is the electron configuration of a Sodium ion?

Back

The electron configuration of a Sodium ion (Na+) is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

Front

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

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to bond in such a way that they each have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving a stable electron configuration.
