Ionic Bonds Unveiled: Understanding Metal and Non-Metal Connections

The video introduces ionic bonds, explaining their role in holding metal and non-metal atoms together. It uses sodium chloride as a primary example to illustrate how electron transfer leads to ion formation, resulting in ionic bonds. The video also clarifies the difference between chlorine and chloride ions and summarizes the steps involved in forming ionic bonds.

What type of atoms do ionic bonds connect?

• Noble gases

• Metal and non-metal

• Non-metal and non-metal

• Metal and metal

What is the scientific name for table salt?

• Sodium bicarbonate

• Potassium chloride

• Sodium chloride

• Calcium carbonate

What happens to sodium when it loses an electron?

• It remains neutral

• It becomes negatively charged

• It becomes positively charged

• It becomes a noble gas

What do we call an atom with a charge?

• Isotope

• Molecule

• Ion

• Compound

What is the difference between chlorine and chloride?

• Chlorine is a gas, chloride is a liquid

• Chlorine is neutral, chloride is negatively charged

• Chlorine is positively charged, chloride is neutral

• Chlorine is a metal, chloride is a non-metal

What is the first step in forming an ionic bond between sodium and chlorine?

• Sodium gives an electron to chlorine

• They share electrons equally

• They form a covalent bond

• Chlorine gives an electron to sodium

What causes the atoms in an ionic bond to stick together?

• Opposite charges attracting

• Nuclear forces

• Gravitational pull

• Magnetic forces

What do we call the version of chlorine with a negative charge?

• Chlorate

• Chlorite

• Chlorine

• Chloride

What is the charge of sodium after it loses an electron?

• Double negative

• Negative

• Positive

• Neutral

What is the final step in the formation of an ionic bond?

• Oppositely charged ions attract

• Atoms repel each other

• Atoms share electrons

• Atoms become neutral
