Flashcards

What does it mean for atoms to be 'isoelectronic'?

Two atoms or ions are isoelectronic if they have the same electron configuration. This implies that they have the same number of electrons.

How is the charge of an ion determined?

The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines its atomic number. An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. The charge of an ion is determined by the difference between the number of protons (atomic number) and the number of electrons.

How do ionic compounds form?

When a metal reacts with a non-metal, electrons are transferred from the metal to the non-metal. This creates positively charged metal ions and negatively charged non-metal ions. The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions forms an ionic bond.

What does the chemical formula of an ionic compound tell us?

The chemical formula for an ionic compound represents the smallest whole number ratio of ions needed to achieve a neutral overall charge. This is accomplished by balancing the positive and negative charges contributed by the respective ions.

What is the chemical formula for the compound formed between beryllium and fluorine?

Beryllium (Be) has a 2+ charge as an ion. Fluorine (F) has a 1- charge as an ion. In the ionic compound BeF2, two fluorine ions (-1) are needed to balance the charge of one beryllium ion (+2).
