Question

I know literally know absolutely nothing about this in any way and its the last question on my homework.
Demonstrate an understanding of ionic bonding by writing chemical formulas.

Answer 1

@petiteme

Answer 2

ionic bonds is when you have two oppositely charged atoms bonded together. For instance, NaCl is an ionic bond. Na\(^+\) and Cl\(^-\). So, a metal and non-metal.

Answer 3

thank you very much is there any more info you can give me on it?

Answer 4

You can read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_bonding

Answer 5

thank you i have one other question this was a bonus thing on the back, but im not sure what my teacher is asking probably because i dont understand it. if you willing to help?
9. Use VSEPR theory to predict the shape of molecules.

Answer 6

vsepr theory basically assumes that each atom in a molecule will achieve a geometry that minimizes the repulsion between electrons in the valence shell of that atom.

Answer 7

who devised this theory? (i could probably Google that.)

Answer 8

For isntance, BF\(_2\) vs BF\(_3\) have different geometry. One is linear, the other is flat and triangular.
Yes, you can google the person who came up with this theory.

Answer 9

thanks very much you help alot more than most people Probably how you got that shiny 99 lol -Fanned-
