Define ionic bonding.

Back

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

What is a valence electron?

Back

A valence electron is an electron in the outermost shell of an atom that can participate in forming chemical bonds.

Front

What is the difference between a cation and an anion?

Back

A cation is a positively charged ion, while an anion is a negatively charged ion.

Front

What happens to the electrons of an alkali metal when it forms an ionic bond?

Back

Alkali metals lose one electron.
