3.3 - Ionic Bonding

Question 1

ions

Answer 1

atoms that have lost or gained electron(s)

Question 2

cation

Answer 2

positive ion

Question 3

metal atoms lose electrons to

Answer 3

become positively charged ions

Question 4

nonmetal atoms gain electrons to

Answer 4

become negatively charged ions

Question 5

anion

Answer 5

negative ion

Question 6

group five ion charges

Answer 6

-3

Question 7

group six ion charges

Answer 7

-2

Question 8

group seven ion charges

Answer 8

-1

Question 9

compounds have

Answer 9

no overall charge
- ions cancel out

Question 10

ionic bonding in terms of electrostatic attractions

Answer 10

held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions

Question 11

why compounds with giant ionic lattices have high MP/BP

Answer 11

• strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
• requires lots of energy to overcome

Question 12

ionic compounds only conduct electricity when molten/aqueous solution

Answer 12

solid - ions fixed
molten/aqueous - ions free to move, carrying charge
