Chapter 6- Ionic Bonding

Noble gases

Gases in Group O of the periodic table that have complete octets or duplets so they are stable.

Polyatomic ion

A group of atoms that carry a charge.

high melting

They have ________ and boiling points due to the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between ions.

Ions

An atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.

chemical formula

To write the ________ of an ionic compound, balance the charges on each ion such that there is no net charge on the compound.PROPERTIES OF IONIC COMPOUNDS.

Metals

Solid material which is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity.

organic solvents

They are soluble in water but not in ________ such as ethanol and oil.

Aqueous state

The state of containing water.

Octet

A stable group of eight electrons occupying a single shell in an atom.

Duplet

A stable group of two electrons occupying a single shell in an atom.

Electrostatic forces

Attractive and/or repulsive force caused by the electric charge particles.

Ionic Compounds

A chemical compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces.
