CS5L5 - Ionic Bonding and Naming Check-in

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms are most stable when they have eight electrons in their outermost energy level.

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

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

Front

What occurs during ionic bonding?

Back

During ionic bonding, one atom transfers electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

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.

Front

How do metals behave in ionic bonding?

Back

Metals tend to lose valence electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Front

How do nonmetals behave in ionic bonding?

Back

Nonmetals tend to gain valence electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Front

What is the charge of a sodium ion (Na+) after losing an electron?

Back

The charge of a sodium ion (Na+) is +1 after losing one electron.

Front

What is the formula for the ionic compound formed between magnesium and oxygen?

Back

The formula for the ionic compound formed between magnesium and oxygen is MgO.

Front

How many total electrons does a magnesium atom lose when forming an ionic bond?

Back

A magnesium atom loses 2 electrons when forming an ionic bond.

Front

What is the name of the compound LiF?

Back

The name of the compound LiF is Lithium Fluoride.
