i have to watch this for a school thing but now stuff like this is gonna be in my recommended

[@Austinicy]

I get it. But I don't understand the bonding of eg. Sodium Hydroxide, because the oxygen and the hydrogen have bonded to form a hydroxide ion (OH)2 but if this ion is then full, how does it bond with sodium?

[@jeremywarner417]

The Hydroxide Ion is not stable, the oxygen needs 2 more valence electrons that it originally has. The Hydrogen provides only one, the Sodium (in your example) provides the other electron to create the stability of the oxygen's full octet. Sodium loses its single valence electron and is now stable with its full 2nd energy level, and the hydrogen is also stable with the configuration between it and the oxygen.

Most welcome 😊

[@elizabethwhite5108]

is a ionic bond between a metal and a non metal?

[@fuseschool]

Yes! Metal atoms have fewer electrons in their outer shells (a less complete outer shell), and so can more easily lose these electrons. Non-metal atoms have more electrons in their outer shells - their outer shell is closer to being a complete shell. In ionic bonding, the metals lose electrons to become positively charged, and the non-metals accept electrons to become negatively charged.

[@hexisplus9104]

on your ionic bond you need to show the outer shell for UK exam boards the metal has an empty outer shell.

[@a4yt596]

Watching online is so much better then reading it

[@tinashestapleton2859]

thank you so much, i have an exam on this day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@HelloHuman-fz5ww]

How about metals? Where are the electrons lost to?

[@Starkuss]

How do you know how many electrons to transfer between ions?

[@fuseschool]

+Starkuss It depends how many electrons are in the outer shell - if there are 6 electrons in the outer shell, then that atom will accept 2 more to make the shell full. Whereas if the atom only has 1 electron in its outer shell, it will lose that 1 electron.

[@ui2760]

Group 1-3 metals lose the same number of electrons as their group number. Non metals (group 5-7) gain 8 minus their group number of electrons. Group 4 do not gain or lose electrons so they don't form ions. Group 0 already have full outer shells so they don't transfer electrons.

[@user-lq9kn8wp1f]

This 2 minutes video is far better then the 1 hour lectures

[@KinkyJinxy]

CaCl confuses me. Why does Ca loses 2 electron when Cl need one electron for its valence shell to complete?

[@fuseschool]

+KinkyJinxy There are 2 chlorine atoms involved - so the 1 electron goes to each chlorine. Calcium chloride is CaCl2.

[@jinseolee272]

how did u make this?

[@darksoar3633]

using your brain.

[@polytrichum1119]

But why do electrons transfer to another atom?

[@godawg07sportscards97]

Thank you. I need to make a comic strip on ionic and covalent bonds and my teacher never taught it to me so I needed this info

[@reznov4668]

I still can’t understand how Na and Cl called ion already before and why?

[@nadzworld698]

The way you say atom 😂😂 atoooommm

[@NicoleRaquel91]

Why when you loose a ion does it become positive and when you gain you become negative?

[@fuseschool]

+Nicole Blanco when atoms lose or gain electrons, they become either negatively or positively charged. A positive or negatively charged atom is called an ion. Positive ion when the atom LOSES an electron. Negative ion when the atom GAINS an electron. Hope this helps.

[@akris250c]

+The Fuse School - Global Education I think what he was trying to say was "why when an atom losses an electron must it become a positive ion and not an negative" and same with "when an atom gains an electron must it become a negative ion and not a positive" .... is it because of the attraction??

[@elleh5255]

+Nicole Blanco what happens is that when the metal loses an electron, it ends up having more protons than electrons, so overall it will be more positive and carry a positive charge. When the non-metal gains an electron, it ends up having more electrons than protons, so it will be more negative overall and therefore carry a negative charge. Hope this clarifies it for you.
