#1
Front (Question)

What is an ionic bond

Back (Answer)

A strong Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a crystal lattice

#2
Front (Question)

What are chemical bonds

Back (Answer)

Forces of attraction that brings ions,atoms and molecules together

#3
Front (Question)

What are the 3 main types of bonds

Back (Answer)

Ionic-m+nm Metallic-M+M Covalent-NM+NM

#4
Front (Question)

What do elements bond

Back (Answer)

To gain a full outer shell/A low energy state and therefore be more stable

#5
Front (Question)

How are full outer shells obtained

Back (Answer)

By oxidation(losing electrons)-cations (usually m) Or reduction(gaining of electrons)-anions(usually nm)

#6
Front (Question)

What ions does group 8 form

Back (Answer)

They dont as they already have a full,stable outer shell

#7
Front (Question)

What is a crystal lattice

Back (Answer)

A 3D arrangement of particles, atoms or ions that usually occurs between metal and non metal and involves the transfer of electrons where the metal donates its délocalisée electrons to the non metal to form an ion

#8
Front (Question)

What is the charge of an ionic crystal

Back (Answer)

Neutral

#9
Front (Question)

What is a giant lattice structure of ionic compounds

Back (Answer)

A regular arrangement of alternating positive and negative ions. (Neutral overall)

#10
Front (Question)

Name 5 properties of ionic compounds and reasons

Back (Answer)

• High MP+BO-strong electrostatic forces between ions • Solid ionic substances do not conduct- no free ions to carry charge • Molten substances do conduct- ions able to move freely and carry charge 4.soluble in water 5.crystals are brittle

#11
Front (Question)

Why can molten ionic substances conduct electricity

Back (Answer)

As the crystal lattice has been broken and ions are now able to move freely and carry charge
