Ionic Bonding Review

Front

What are noble gases?

Back

Noble gases are a group of inert gases in Group 18 of the periodic table, known for their lack of reactivity due to having a full valence shell.

What charge does sulfur (S) have when it becomes an anion?

Back

Sulfur (S) becomes an anion with a charge of 2-.

Front

Which element has similar chemical properties to Oxygen (O)?

Back

Sulfur (S) has similar chemical properties to Oxygen (O) because they are both in the same group of the periodic table.

Front

What type of bond is formed between sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl)?

Back

An ionic bond is formed between sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl).

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule is the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in their valence shell to achieve stability.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

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 electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is the measure of an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons in a chemical bond.

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in forming bonds.
