Ionic Bonding

Ionic bonding usually occurs between what type of atoms?

• metals only
• non-metals only
• noble gases
• metals and non-metals

When a non-metal becomes an non-metal ion

• it becomes negatively charged
• it becomes neutrally charged
• it becomes positively charged
• there is no change in charge

Positive ions are formed by

• gain of electrons
• gain of protons
• loss of electrons
• loss of protons

Negative ions are formed by

• gain of electrons
• gain of protons
• loss of electrons
• loss of protons

What happens to the electron configuration of atoms during ionic bonding?

• Both atoms electron configuration remains unchanged.
• The electron configuration of both atoms becomes that of a noble gas
• The electron configuration gains an electron
• The electron configuration loses an electron

An ionic bond

• is a shared pair of electrons
• is an electrostatic attraction between ions of opposite charge
• forms a negatively charged compound
• is formed during every chemical reaction

The ionic bonds that exist between charged particles result in an arrangement called

• a giant ion
• a giant ionic lattice
• cube
• a covalent bond

Pick the correct combination for the properties of ionic compounds.

• Conduct electricity and low boiling point
• Do not conduct electricity and low melting point
• Solid only conducts and high boiling point
• Conducts when liquid or dissolved in water and high melting point
