What type of electrons do ionic bonds deal with?
Ionic bonds deal with the transfer of valence electrons from one atom to another. These are the outermost electrons in an atom's electron cloud.
What electrons can escape and move outside of the ions electron cloud?
plasma
The bonding that occurs when positively charged ions are surrounded by a cloud of electrons is called?
metallic
What can escape and move outside of the ion's electrons cloud?
Electrons can escape and move outside of an ion's electron cloud. This can happen through processes like ionization, where an electron gains enough energy to break free from its parent atom. Once free, these electrons can move independently in the surrounding environment.
Which state of matter is the most common in the universe and its electrons can escape and move outside the ion's electron cloud?
plasma
Why metallic substances can conduct electricity but ionic substances don't?
Metallic substances have metallic bonds which create an electron cloud in which electrons are highly mobile. Ionic solids have ionic bonding in which electrons are not mobile. Note that by dissolving an ionic substance in water, you can obtain an electrically conductive solution. When dissolved, the ions become quite mobile.
How does ionic bonding result in metals able to conduct elecricity?
Metals conduct electricity because they have free electrons delocalised through their structure. The bonding in metals is NOT ionic but has been described as a lattice of positively charged atoms, ions, with a cloud of electrons circulating around them.
Which type of bond are electrons gained or lost?
ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of electrons
What is the region of electrons?
The electrons of an atom are located in the electron cloud.
How do valence electrons of atoms behave when forming an ionic bond?
Electrons are transferred when ionic bonds are formed.
When atoms gains electrons what happens to the atomic radius?
The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius
What happens to electrons in un-ionic bond?
The electrons in un-ionic or non-ionic bonds occupy space in which at least two nuclear centers are contributing substantially to electrically attracting the electrons, whereas electrons in ionic bonds occupy space centered around a single nucleus as long as the ionic bonds are maintained.
