What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond where one atom transfers electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of charged ions that attract each other.

Front

Why do ionic compounds form?

Back

Ionic compounds form because atoms want to achieve a full outer energy level, which makes them more stable.

Front

What happens to electrons in ionic bonds?

Back

In ionic bonds, electrons are gained by some atoms and lost by others.

Front

What is the atomic structure of an atom?

Back

An atom consists of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, with electrons orbiting around the nucleus.

Front

What is the role of protons in an atom?

Back

Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom and determine the element's identity.

Front

What is the role of neutrons in an atom?

Back

Neutrons are neutral particles found in the nucleus of an atom and contribute to the atom's mass.

Front

What is the role of electrons in an atom?

Back

Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus and are involved in chemical bonding.

Front

What is a balanced chemical equation?

Back

A balanced chemical equation has the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.

Front

What is the difference between solids, liquids, and gases?

Back

Solids have a definite shape, liquids take the shape of their container, and gases fill the entire space available.

Front

Why do solids have a definite shape?

Back

Solids have a more ordered arrangement of atoms, which keeps them in a fixed shape.
