Ionic Bonds and Compounds Quiz

Electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond.

Electrons move from a metal to a nonmetal during the formation of an ionic bond.

Oxygen typically forms ions with a 2- charge when it gains electrons.

Sodium is likely to form an ionic bond with chlorine by donating an electron.

The ion formed by potassium achieving a noble gas electron configuration has the electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6.

Aluminum needs to lose 3 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Ionic bonds form as atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable outer shell with eight electrons.

H2O (water) is not likely to form an ionic bond; it is a covalent compound.

The formula unit for magnesium chloride is MgCl2, representing the ratio of magnesium ions to chloride ions.

Lattice energy is the energy released when ions come together to form an ionic compound.

Ionic compounds are typically formed between metals and nonmetals, not between two nonmetals.

Lithium fluoride (LiF) will have the highest lattice energy among the given pairs.

The correct ionic formula for calcium phosphate is Ca3(PO4)2.

The strength of an ionic bond is not directly influenced by the temperature of the environment.

Ionic compounds generally exhibit high melting points due to strong electrostatic forces between ions.

The formula of the ionic compound formed from magnesium and nitrogen is Mg3N2.
