Q1.

What kind of element

forms cation after ionic
bonding? Why?
Metals form cations because
they completely transfer or
give away
electrons.
Q2. What kind of element forms
anion after ionic bonding? Why?
Non-metals form anions
because they attract electrons
toward
themselves.
Q3. Why do ions form after ionic
bonding?
Ions form after ionic bonding
because this type of bond involves
complete transfer of electrons.
Q4. Did the atoms attain stability after
ionic bonding? Explain you answer.
Yes, after ionic bonding the
participating atoms attain the stable
electronic configuration of the
nearest noble gas.
Q5. How can you tell that ionic
bonding will take place between
metals and non-metals?
Ionic bonding will take place
between metal and non-metal
with electronegativity difference
of greater than 1.9.
Q6. Will all combinations of metals and non-metals
form ionic bond? Why?
Not all metal-nonmetal combinations will result in
an ionic bond.
Only those with electronegativity difference of
more than 1.9 will result to
an ionic bond.
