Ionic Bonding

Front

What is ionic bonding?

Back

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically formed when an electron is transferred from one atom to another.

Front

What is the formula for sodium bromide?

Back

The formula for sodium bromide is NaBr.

Front

What happens to electrons during ionic bonding?

Back

Electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positive and negative ions.

Front

What is the resulting compound when lithium (Li) bonds with fluorine (F)?

Back

The resulting compound is lithium fluoride (LiF).

Front

What is the significance of the octet rule in ionic bonding?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons, leading to stability.
