What to Focus On
- Noble gases are non-reactive due to stable electronic configuration.
- Helium is stable with 2 electrons in the outermost shell.
- Most other noble gases are stable with 8 electrons in the outermost shell.
- Ionic bonding is formed by transfer of electrons.
- Metals form cations by losing electrons.
- Non-metals form anions by gaining electrons.
- Ionic compounds are crystalline solids.
- They are hard and brittle.
- They have high melting and boiling points.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
NaCl is a single molecule made by one sodium atom and one chlorine atom joined by one bond.
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in the solid state because they contain ions.
All ionic compounds are soluble in water.
