State of matter and bonding

Cards (8)

  • State of matter
    Liquid
    Solid
    Gas
  • Ionic Bonding
    Electron transfer between atoms, forming ions with opposite charges
  • Ionic bonding atoms lose or gain electrons
  • If the shell has one or two electrons they are keen to get rid of it and if a atom has 6 or 7 they are keen to gain to create a full outer shell
  • Group 1&2 and 6&7 are the most likely to from ions
  • ionic compound are made up of positive charge part and a negative charge part
  • Sodium chloride contains Na+ (+1) and Cl-(-1) ions
    (+1)+(-1)=0 the charge are balanced with on of each ions so the formula of sodium chloride = NaCl
  • Magnesium chloride contains Mg2+ (+2) and Cl- (-1) ions becouse of a chloride ions only has a 1- charge we will need two of them to balance out the 2+ charge of magnesium ions this gives us the formula = MgCl2
