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.

Front

Which type of elements typically form ionic bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds typically form between metals, which lose electrons, and non-metals, which gain electrons.

What is the charge of a cation?

Back

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

Front

What is the charge of an anion?

Back

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

How many valence electrons does Beryllium have?

Back

Beryllium has 2 valence electrons.

Front

What happens to the valence electrons of metals during ionic bonding?

Back

Metals lose their valence electrons to form cations during ionic bonding.

Front

What happens to the valence electrons of non-metals during ionic bonding?

Back

Non-metals gain valence electrons to form anions during ionic bonding.

Front

What is the significance of the -ide suffix in ionic compounds?

Back

Ions that end in -ide are typically monoatomic anions, meaning they consist of a single atom with a negative charge.
