1. Ionic bonding

Available for over a year

In this episode, Dr Sunayana Bhargava and Tulela Pea define ions and ionic bonding. Suitable for: AQA, Edexcel, OCR. For more information on ionic bonding, check out the BBC Bitesize website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/ztc6w6f/revision/1 Key learning objectives discussed in this episode include: - Metal atoms lose electrons to become positively charged ions. Non-metal atoms gain electrons to become negatively charged ions. In ionic bonding the particles are oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonding occurs in compounds formed from metals combined with non-metals. - The electron transfer during the formation of an ionic compound can be represented by a dot and cross diagram. - Students should be able to draw dot and cross diagrams for ionic compounds formed by metals in Groups 1 and 2 with non-metals in Groups 6 and 7.
