3. In an ionic bond, a metal atom tends to electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, becoming a positively charged ion called a(n) .
4. Nonmetal atoms tend to electrons to form negatively charged ions called .
5. Ionic compounds typically have low melting and boiling points.
True
False
6. Ionic compounds can conduct electricity when dissolved in water or in their molten state.
True
False
7. Provide an example of an ionic compound and explain how its constituent atoms achieve stability through ionic bonding.
8. Describe the electrostatic forces that hold an ionic compound together.
9. Observe the diagram below showing the formation of an ionic bond. Identify the metal and nonmetal atoms involved, and describe the electron transfer process.
