Hello ms, I had a question about theIonic Bonding Worksheet,how do you find the Electrons transfer from/to each atom and Ionic formed in this poduct.

M&M said...

I have a question about the Ionic bonding sheet also, with the boxes that say valence electrons and atoms do you draw the valence orbit for each element since they are cut in half or something else...

MsWiens said...

For the Ionic Bonding Worksheet, the is a box for:
the atom - list the element symbol

valence e - list the number only of valence e

then the number of e transferred is the number lost if it is a metal to get to an empty outer orbit and the number gained for a metal to get to a full outer orbit

then the last box is the ion charge - which is the charge when it becomes an ion also known as the combining capacity

Let me know if you have any other questions - good use of the BLOG!!!

Ms, I was confused on how to figure out the chemical formula on question 11) on the Ionic bonding worksheet. I think it is Al over 2 nad O over 3 but im not sure.

MsWiens said...

Al has a charge of +3
O has a charge of -2

LCM = 6 so you need 2 Al and 3 O

OR

Cross and Drop gets you 2 Al and 3 O

Both Result in a chemical formula of Al2O3 (with the numbers being subscripts)
