What do you already know about ionic compounds?
Examine the periodic table of the elements and identify which groups of elements are metals and which are nonmetals.
For each of the original atoms shown on the right (top), select the image on the left that depicts the ion that would most commonly be formed.
Match the ion characteristics with the type of ion that they describe. If the characteristic describes both anions and cations, place the characteristic in the both column.
gains one or more electrons
is more stable than the original atom
is negatively charged
is positively charged
has a full valence shell
Loses one or more electrons
has the same number of protons as original atom
is a charged atom
Anions
Cations
Both
The simplest ionic compounds consist of the atoms of only two elements known as
Explain why the net charge of sodium nitride, Na3N, zero?
Which of these compounds is NOT a binary ionic compound?
Which difference in electronegativity will have two atoms form an ionic bond?
How are the arrangements of compounds held together by ionic bonds described?
Which of the following explanations best describes the process by which the elements calcium and oxygen combine to form the binary compound calcium oxide?
2Ca(s) + O2(g) -> 2CaO(s)
How do atoms form ions that then combine to form crystals?
How do ionic bonds form in binary compounds?
How Is Electronegativity Used to Determine Which Atoms Form Ionic Bonds?
What type of bond holds two electrically charged atoms (ions) together by their opposite charge?
