What forms an ionic bond?
Think about how metals and non-metals behave in terms of electrons.
What is a cation?
Remember, 'cation' sounds like 'cat', and a cat is often known to be 'positive' or friendly!
What type of bond is formed when the electronegativity difference is greater than 1.7?
Think about how strongly different elements pull on electrons.
True or False: Cations are negatively charged ions.
Recall the definitions of cations and anions.
A sample contains sodium (Na) and fluorine (F). Predict the ions they will form and the type of bond they will create. Justify your response.
Consider their positions in the periodic table.
Given the elements boron (B) and oxygen (O), analyze whether they will form a covalent or ionic bond and explain the basis of your analysis related to electronegativity.
Think about the electronegativity values of these elements.
