IONIC BONDING Belton High School
Chemical Bond Definition a mutual electrical attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms Valence electrons are electrons available to form a chemical bond. These electrons are in the outermost s and p orbital
Making Ionic Compounds Why do atoms bond? Independent atoms are at a relatively high potential energy. Bonding allows atoms to become more stable
There are two types of Chemical COVALENT Bonds Occurs when electrons are shared between two non-metals We will study these after break IONIC Occurs between METALS and NON METALS
Formation of Positive Ions Metals LOSE electrons and form POSITIVE (+) ions. Positively charged ions are called cations Metals (main group elements, s & p blocks) Number electrons lost = valence electrons Ion charge = number of electrons lost Transition metals (d-block) are multivalent Use the chart to determine the charge
Formation of Negative Ions Nonmetals GAIN electrons and form NEGATIVE (-) ions. Negatively charged ions are called anions Number of electrons gained = 8 valence electrons Ion charge = number of electrons gained
Calculating the number of Valence Electrons Simple, look at periodic table! On your periodic table, write the # of valence electrons for each main group
Practice Problems How many valence electrons are in the following elements? Mg 2 val. electrons F 7 val. electrons Na 1 val. electron Al 3 val. electrons
To keep track of valence electrons, we use an electron dot structures Electron dot diagrams represent VALENCE electrons. 1) Write the symbol of the element. 2) Draw dots to represent valence electrons
Practice Problems Draw the electron dot structures for the following atoms: Carbon Neon Barium Silicon
Noble Gases Noble gas are extremely stable due to a completely filled s and p orbital Noble gases have 8 val. Electrons (except He) All the other elements want to be like a Noble Gas Octet Rule: Atoms lose, gain, or share to reach an octet (8) of valence electrons.
Determining the Charge of Ions Remember Ions are positively or negatively charged atoms Ions have either gained or lost electrons Start with drawing electron dot structure, then determine how many electrons need to be gained or lost to achieve an octet Example) Fluorine
Determining the Charge of Ions Refer to Periodic Table!!
Practice Problems Determine the Charge of the following Ions Nitrogen Lithium Radium Chlorine
Practice Problems Determine the Charge of the following Ions Nitrogen -3 Lithium +1 Radium +2 Chlorine -1
Making Ionic Compounds An ionic compound is between a cation and an anion. The positive and negative charges must balance one another. The total overall charge must always equal zero (0) Why do atoms bond? Independent atoms are at a relatively high potential energy. Bonding allows atoms to become more stable
Electron Dot Structure for Ionic Compounds We will use arrows to show the movement of electrons for ionic compounds. The electrons always go from Cations (metal) to Anions (non-metal) Therefore, your arrow always points to the nonmetal Example) Na and Cl
1). Ionic bond electron from Na is transferred to Cl, this causes a charge imbalance in each atom. The Na becomes (Na+) and the Cl becomes (Cl-), charged particles or ions.

Writing Formulas for Ionic Compounds Step One Write the ions for each atom involved in the bond. Step Two Balance the charges to make the sum equal zero Example) Potassium and Oxygen 1) K +1 and O -2 2) K 2 O Subscript tells you the number of atoms No subscript is an understood ONE K + K + O 2-
Writing Formulas Lithium and Oxygen Li + Li + O 2- Hydrogen and Fluorine HF H + F - Metal/Cation Li 2 O Non Metal/Anion Al 3+ O 2- Aluminum and Oxygen Al 2 O 3 Al 3+ O 2- O 2-

Naming Ionic Compounds There are three types of ionic compounds and each one has a different naming system Binary Compounds 2 ions bonded together Multivalent Compounds transition metal bonded to a non-metal Polyatomic Compounds more than 2 ions bonded together Refer to your table of common polyatomic Ions for naming
Binary Ionic Compounds Remember in writing the formula, put cation first and anion second Rules for naming: 1) Name the first element 2) Change the ending of the second element to ide For example) CaCl 2 = calcium chloride MgS = magnesium sulfide

Naming Multivalent Compounds Transition Metals (d-block) can have multiple valence electron numbers Therefore you must specify the charge when writing the name. Rules to naming: 1) Name the first element 2) Show the charge of the ion with Roman numerals 3) Change the ending of the second element to ide Example) Cu 2 S = copper (I) sulfide
