Ionic Bonds (Warm Up)

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.

Which group of elements is most likely to form anions?

Back

Group 17 elements (halogens) are most likely to form anions.

Front

What is the naming convention for binary ionic compounds?

Back

In binary ionic compounds, the name of the second element is changed to end in '-ide'.

Ca3P2

Front

When would you use Roman numerals in naming ionic compounds?

Back

Roman numerals are used in naming ionic compounds when the metal can form more than one type of ion.

Front

What is the charge of a potassium ion?

Back

The charge of a potassium ion (K+) is +1.

Front

What is the charge of a phosphate ion?

Back

The charge of a phosphate ion (PO4^3-) is -3.

Front

How do you determine the formula of an ionic compound?

Back

To determine the formula of an ionic compound, balance the total positive and negative charges of the ions.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.
