2. In an   _____________    bond, the atoms are bound together by the attraction between oppositely-charged ions.

Explanation

Ionic bonds occur when atoms are bound together by the attraction between oppositely charged ions. In an ionic bond, one atom donates electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of positive and negative ions. These ions then attract each other, creating a strong bond. Ionic bonds typically occur between metals and nonmetals, where the metal atom loses electrons to become a positively charged ion, and the nonmetal atom gains those electrons to become a negatively charged ion. This electrostatic attraction between the ions is what holds them together in an ionic bond.

Submit
3. In a ______________ bond, the atoms are bound by shared electrons.

Explanation

A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where atoms are bound together by sharing electrons. In this type of bond, the electrons are shared between the atoms involved, allowing them to achieve a more stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons creates a strong bond between the atoms, resulting in the formation of molecules. Covalent bonds are typically formed between nonmetal atoms, as they have a high tendency to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Submit
4. Electrons have what kind of charge?

Submit
6. Positively charged ions, called ____________, result from loss of electrons.

Explanation

Positively charged ions, called cations, result from the loss of electrons. When an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes positively charged because there are more protons than electrons. This creates an imbalance of positive and negative charges, leading to the formation of cations. An example is when a sodium atom loses one electron, it forms a sodium cation with a positive charge.

Submit
7. An _______ bond forms when a cation transfers its extra electron to an anion who needs it.

Explanation

An ionic bond forms when a cation, which is a positively charged ion, transfers its extra electron to an anion, which is a negatively charged ion, who needs it. This transfer of electrons results in the formation of a strong electrostatic attraction between the two ions, creating an ionic bond. This type of bond typically occurs between a metal and a nonmetal, where the metal donates its electron(s) to the nonmetal, resulting in the formation of a stable compound.

Submit

The roman numeral II means 2. If we write Nickel (II), it means Nickel with a charge of +2.
If we don't write the II, no one will know what charge Nickel actually is.
So, we write Nickel (II) Chloride.

Nickel gives off two electrons and Chlorine is only able to recieve one.
So, introduce another atom of Chlorine.
One atom of Nickel can give off two electrons and both atoms of Chlorine will recieve one each.
Since there is one atom of Nickel and two of Chlorine, we write NiCl2.
