  • salt (NaCl) ionic or covalent?
    ionic
  • Describe the bonds find in a water molecule
    One oxygen atom forming two covalent bonds with two oxygen atoms
  • What is the difference between a mixture and a chemical change?
    In a chemical change, new substances are formed
  • How many electrons fit into the first, second, and third electron shells?
    2,8,18
  • What is the difference between cation and anion?
    Loss of electrons = cation, gaining of electrons = anion
  • carbon dioxide (CO2) covalent or ionic
    covalent
  • Why do atoms form bonds?
    To gain a stable arrangement of electrons
  • Atoms that have an electric charge due to gain or loss of electrons are called _______
    ions
  • true or false Ionic compounds have high melting points
    true
  • Why do non-metals tend to form covalent bonds?
    They have similiar electronnegativities, neither is strong enough to attract electrons from the other
  • Where non-metals located in the periodic table?
    Right side, last-three columns
  • What is a giant covalent structure
    Three dimensional structure of atoms made by covalent bonds
  • What is a covalent bond?
    Two non metals share their electrons
  • Aluminium oxide (AlO) covalent or ionic
    ionic
  • Explain the ionic bond
    Bond formed between ions of opposite charges (usually metal and non-metal)
  • T/F covalent compounds are between nonmetal and nonmetal
    True
  • What do elements in the same column of a periodic table have in common
    They have the same number of valence electrons
  • name three non metals
    named
  • T/F covalent compounds form small molecules and have low melting points
    T
  • which two non metals form large covalent lattice structures?
    carbon (diamond) silicon (sand)
  • What is the difference between atomic number and mass number?
    Atomic number = how many protons an element has, mass number = neutrons + protons
  • Which compounds tend to form large crystal lattices? ionic or covalent?
    ionic
  • water (H2O) is a covalent compound or ionic compound
    covalent
