Card preview (20)

#1
Front (Question)

What charge do electrons have?

Back (Answer)

-1

#2
Front (Question)

What charge will an ion of lithium take?

Back (Answer)

1+ (one electron in the outer shell, needs to lose it)

#3
Front (Question)

What charge will an ion of beryllium take?

Back (Answer)

2+ (two electrons in the outer shell, needs to lose them both)

#4
Front (Question)

What charge will an ion of barium take?

Back (Answer)

2+ (group 2 so two electrons in the outer shell, needs to lose them both)

#5
Front (Question)

What charge will an ion of fluorine take?

Back (Answer)

1- (7 electrons in the outer shell, needs to gain one)

#6
Front (Question)

If something has gained electrons, what charge will it have?

Back (Answer)

Negative

#7
Front (Question)

If something has lost electrons, what charge will it have?

Back (Answer)

Positive (because they have lost a negative!)

#8
Front (Question)

What charge will an ion of oxygen take?

Back (Answer)

2- (6 electrons in outer shell so needs to gain two)

#9
Front (Question)

What charge will an ion of Selenium take?

Back (Answer)

2- (group 6, so has 6 electrons in the outer shell and needs to gain two)

#10
Front (Question)

Explain in terms of electrons what occurs when lithium bonds with chlorine

Back (Answer)

One electron transferred from lithium to chlorine

#11
Front (Question)

Why do atoms transfer electrons in ionic bonding?

Back (Answer)

So that they can have full outer shells

#12
Front (Question)

Explain in terms of electrons what occurs when lithium bonds with fluorine

Back (Answer)

One electron transferred from lithium to fluorine

#13
Front (Question)

Explain in terms of electrons what occurs when magnesium bonds with oxygen

Back (Answer)

Two electrons transferred from magnesium to oxygen

#14
Front (Question)

Explain in terms of electrons what occurs when beryllium bonds with oxygen (3 marks)

Back (Answer)

Two electrons transferred from beryllium to oxygen

#15
Front (Question)

Explain in terms of electrons what occurs when magnesium bonds with chlorine

Back (Answer)

One electron transferred from magnesium to two different chlorine atoms

#16
Front (Question)

Explain in terms of electrons what occurs when sodium bonds with oxygen

Back (Answer)

Two electrons transferred to an oxygen atom from two different sodium atoms

#17
Front (Question)

Why do sodium ions and chlorine ions form an ionic bond?

Back (Answer)

There is an electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions

#18
Front (Question)

Why don’t sulphur ions and oxygen ions form ionic bonds with each other?

Back (Answer)

Both have negative charges so would repel

#19
Front (Question)

What is the name for a substance made of billions of oppositely charged ions joined together?

Back (Answer)

Giant ionic lattice

#20
Front (Question)

Define giant ionic lattice

Back (Answer)

A huge 3D network of ions
