General Chemistry Ionic Bonding

The formation of an ionic bond involves the...

• sharing of electrons.

• transfer of electrons.

• transfer of protons.

Metals like to ___________ electrons to become stable

• lose

• gain

• share

Which of the following is NOT a step in forming an ionic bond?

• One atom shares its electrons with another one.
• Opposite charged ions form due to e- transfer
• One atom gives electrons to another one
• Opposite charged ions attract

Why do ionic bonds form?

• So the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
• To stabilize the atom with a full outer shell.
• So an atom can become unstable.
• So atoms will stick together to form molecules.

What is the charge on a noble gas & why?

• 0; they don't exchange electrons
• +1; they give away an electron
• -1; they gain an electron
• 1; they form only single bonds
