1.

Why is a Lithium (Li) ion attracted to a Chlorine (Cl) ion but NOT to a Calcium (Ca) ion?


Hint: Your periodic table can help you answer this question.

a)

Li+ will be attracted to Cl- but NOT to Ca2+ because only oppositely charged ions attract each other.

b)

Li- will be attracted to Cl+ but NOT to Ca2- because only oppositely charged ions attract each other.

c)

Li+ will be attracted to Cl+ but NOT to Ca2- because only oppositely charged ions attract each other.

2.

Ionic compounds are made up of charged atoms, right? So why are they OVERALL neutral??

a)

Only the negative charges will equal zero.

b)

Only the positive charges will equal zero.

c)

All of the charges will balance out and the net charge will be zero.

3.

In an ionic bond between a metal and a nonmetal, what happens to the valence electrons?

a)

They are shared between the metal and nonmetal.

b)

They are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal.

c)

Nothing happens to them, they stay in place.

4.

In an ionic bond, what happens to the protons?

a)

Nothing happens to the protons.

b)

Protons are gained.

c)

Protons are lost.

d)
