Answers to Study Guide
10. Which type of compound forms from a tight network of oppositely charged
ions? Give an example.
Ionic, salt (NaCl)
11. How many valence electrons does an atom need in order to be most stable?
(HINT: Its called the OCTET rule)
8
12. What can atoms do to become stable (to get the right number of valence
electrons)?
Gain, lose, or share
13. Explain what happens to calcium and bromine atoms when they combine
chemically to form calcium bromide. (Specificallywhat charge to they
obtain?)
Calcium loses electrons and becomes positive. Bromine gains an electron and
becomes negative. The positive and negative are attracted to each other.
14. Ionic compounds generally form between which types of elements?
A metal and a nonmetal
25. Bromine forms a binary ionic compound with lithium. What is the
formula for this compound?
LiBr (Rememberwrite the positive symbol with the charge, write
the negative symbol with the charge, then crisscross the numbers).
26. What happens to the properties of atoms when they form
compounds? Stay the same or change?? (HINT: Is it changing into a
new substance?)
Change
27. What is the force that holds atoms together in a compound and
is formed when atoms lose, gain or share electrons with other
atoms?
Chemical bond
28. Which group on the periodic table is already stable and so rarely
forms compounds?
Noble gases, group 18
