What happens to the electrons of a sodium atom when it forms a sodium ion?
- It loses the single electron in its outer shell
- It loses one electron from its innermost shell
- It shares one electron with another atom
- It gains one electron into its outer shell

AQA GCSE Chemistry: Ionic bonding and ionic compounds FAQ
Is Kramizo free for AQA GCSE students preparing for Chemistry?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Ionic bonding and ionic compounds practice with other Chemistry topics or even switch to a totally different AQA subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Ionic bonding and ionic compounds questions aligned to the official AQA GCSE Chemistry syllabus?
Every question is written against the published AQA GCSE Chemistry specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real AQA paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from AQA.
How is Ionic bonding and ionic compounds typically tested on AQA GCSE Chemistry papers?
Ionic bonding and ionic compounds appears across multiple question types on real AQA GCSE Chemistry papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
