Ionic bonds are formed between a metal and a nonmetal through the transfer of electrons, resulting in the formation of ions and electrostatic attraction.
1. Which of the following elements would most likely form an ionic bond with chlorine (Cl)?
Carbon (C)
Sodium (Na)
Oxygen (O)
Nitrogen (N)
2. What is the primary force of attraction in an ionic bond?
Covalent forces
London dispersion forces
Electrostatic forces
Hydrogen bonding
3. Ionic bonds typically form between a and a .
4. When an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an .
5. The smallest whole-number ratio of ions in an ionic compound is represented by its unit.
6. Describe the process of electron transfer that occurs when sodium (Na) and fluorine (F) form an ionic bond.
7. Explain why ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points.
8. Observe the diagram below showing the formation of an ionic bond. Identify the elements involved and describe the electron transfer.
9. Ionic compounds are generally good conductors of electricity in their solid state.
True
False
10. The formation of an ionic bond is an endothermic process.
