Ionic Bonding

Cards (18)

In an IONIC bond,electrons are lost or gained,resulting in the formation of IONS in ionic compounds.
The ionic bond is the attraction between the positive and the negative
An ionic bond is the bond formed between two ions by the transfer of electrons
Ionic compounds result when metals react with
nonmetals
Metals lose electrons to match the number of valence
electrons of their nearest noble gas
Positive ions form when the number of electrons are
less than the number of protons
In ionic compounds, nonmetals in 5, 6, and 7 gain
electrons from metals
Nonmetal add electrons to achieve the octet
arrangement
Atoms will transfer one or more Electrons to another to form the bond.
Each atom is left with a complete outer shell.
An ionic bond forms between a metal ion with a positive charge and a
non-metal ion with a negative charge.
Bond formed by transfer of electrons from
metal to non-metal
Between atoms of metals and nonmetals
Produces charged ions (cations and anions)
Oppositely charged ions attract : strong
electrostatic forces
The ions in an ionic compound stay together because the ions have opposite charges, so they are attracted to each other
An ionic compound has a net electrical charge of 0
Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons
