Front

Ionic bonds are between...

Back

Metal and Non-metal

Front

Which statement explains whether KBr or MgO will have a stronger bond?

Back

MgO will have a stronger bond because it has a larger ionic charge, and a smaller distance between ions.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs between a metal and a non-metal, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

Front

What is the charge of an anion?

Back

An anion has a negative charge.

Front

What is the charge of a cation?

Back

A cation has a positive charge.

Front

What is the significance of ionic charge in ionic bonding?

Back

Ionic charge determines the strength of the ionic bond; higher charges result in stronger attractions between ions.

Front

What is the general trend of ionic size in the periodic table?

Back

Ionic size increases down a group and decreases across a period.
