Which statement accurately describes the relationship between ion charge and the formation of ionic compounds?
Which statement accurately describes the relationship between ion charge and the formation of ionic compounds?
- Ionic compounds are formed by ions with similar electronegativity values to ensure equal charge distribution.
- Ions with the same charge form stable ionic compounds due to enhanced electrostatic attraction.
- The ratio of ions in an ionic compound is determined by balancing the total positive and negative charges to achieve electrical neutrality. (correct)
- The magnitude of the ionic charge has no bearing on the stoichiometry of the resulting compound.
How does collision theory explain the effect of temperature on reaction rate?
How does collision theory explain the effect of temperature on reaction rate?
- Increased temperature increases the average kinetic energy of molecules, leading to more frequent and energetic collisions that exceed the activation energy. (correct)
- Increased temperature decreases the frequency of collisions, lowering the probability of successful reactions.
- Increased temperature raises the activation energy required for successful collisions.
- Temperature has no effect on the collision frequency or the energy of the collisions.
Magnesium (Mg) is in Group 2 of the periodic table. What is the most likely ionic form of Magnesium and why?
Magnesium (Mg) is in Group 2 of the periodic table. What is the most likely ionic form of Magnesium and why?
- Mg-1, because it gains one electron to achieve a full outer electron shell.
- Mg-2, because it gains two electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell.
- Mg+2, because it loses two electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell. (correct)
- Mg+1, because it loses one electron to achieve a full outer electron shell.

Study Notes
- The periodic table features groups with distinct properties.
Noble Gases
- Located in the far right column of the periodic table.
- They are inert due to having a full valence shell.
- Generally do not form chemical bonds.
Halogens
- Situated in the second to last column on the right side of the periodic table.
- Highly reactive nonmetals.
- Readily form ions with a -1 charge.
Alkaline Metals
- Found in the first column on the left side of the periodic table (Group 1).
- Highly reactive metals.
- Tend to form ions with a +1 charge.
Alkaline Earth Metals
- Reside in the second column on the left side of the periodic table (Group 2).
- Reactive metals.
- Form ions with a +2 charge.
Ions
- Magnesium (Mg), in Group 2, forms a +2 ion, written as Mg+2.
- Ionic Bonds
- Formed through the transfer of electrons between atoms.
- Creates ions that are oppositely charged and thus attracted to each other.
- The charge of ions dictates the ratio in which they combine.
- Calcium (Ca) with a +2 charge and Fluorine (F) with a -1 charge combine to form Calcium Fluoride (CaF2).
Covalent Bonds
- Formed via the sharing of electrons between atoms.
Types of Chemical Reactions
- Reactions are categorized based on the changes occurring at the molecular level, such as synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and redox reactions.
Rates of Reaction
- Describe how quickly reactants are converted into products.
Collision Theory
- States that for a reaction to occur, reactant particles must collide with sufficient energy and proper orientation.
Factors Affecting Reaction Rate
- Temperature: Higher temperatures usually increase reaction rates by providing more energy for collisions.
- Concentration: Higher reactant concentrations typically increase reaction rates due to more frequent collisions.
- Surface Area: Increased surface area, especially in heterogeneous reactions, can lead to faster reaction rates.
- Catalysts: Substances that speed up reactions without being consumed by lowering the activation energy.
Measuring Reaction Rate
- Monitored by tracking the change in concentration of reactants or products over time.
- Techniques include measuring gas production, pH changes, or conductivity.
