III-1 1 PART THREE: Ionic Bonding In Molecules And Solids. So far we have defined several energies of interaction between charged particles. - Ionization Energy - Electron Affinity - Coulombic (Electrostatic) Attraction & Repulsion. We now use these to look at further bonding properties: Mostly solids. Why are solids important? Catalysts Ad & Ab Sorbents Lasers Fibre Optics Magnetic Memories Optical Switching (Computers) Batteries Fluorescent Lights Superconductors LED s.
III-2 2 We Need To Start At The Beginning One of the simplest ionic solids is sodium chloride (NaCl). Various depictions of the rocksalt structure. Not all will be met in this course.
III-3 3 Discrete NaCl molecules can exist in the gas phase. NaCl(g) Na(g) + Cl(g) H for this reaction is called the Bond Dissociation Energy (409 kj mol -1 ) We can judge the stability of solids whether they form or not by looking at the free energy change for: M + (g) + X - (g) MX(s) G = H - T S If G is ve then spontaneous. Note: Process of Lattice formation (solid ) is very exothermic at room temperature ( S may be neglected).
III-4 4 We will use H s (enthalpy). Born Haber Cycle Na + (g) + Cl - (g) IP EA Na(g) + 1 2 _ Cl 2 (g) H f ( NaCl ) Electrostatic (U) Attraction NaCl(g) We can calculate U from this cycle Can You Do It?: watch the signs However: NaCl(g) is NOT NaCl(s)
III-5 5 - We want to get an idea of how stable different solids are. - Then U is more complicated. WHY? Cl Sodium Chloride Lattice Cl Cl Cubic Each Na + has 6 near neighbour Cl - r Cl Each Cl - has 6 near neighbour Na + The attractive energy between a Na + and its 6 near neighbour Cl - is offset by repulsion from 12 next near neighbour Na +. Na 2r Na 3r Na Na We must sum these up.
III-6 6 First 6 nearest neighbour Na-Cl (Attractive) E = -q q r Na Cl 6 Second 12 next nearest neighbor Na-Na (Repulsive) + q q E = Na Na 12 2r Third 8 next nearest neighbour Na-Cl E = -q q Na Cl 3r 8 (and so on for ever) This is a convergent series. The sum of all the attractive and repulsive terms can be lumped together. -q2 E = r A A is called the Madelung Constant. For NaCl and other cubic structures A = 1.74756.
III-7 7 NOTE: In this case the coulombic term is overall attractive. Where is the repulsion to stop the solid collapsing? Born-Meyer Repulsion (DeKock & Gray, p. 457) E R = be -ar (See problem set 4; Q. 4) (remember Van der Waals repulsion?) Again due to overlap of electron clouds. b is a constant related to compressibility of solid. overall we have
E III-8 8 Born Meyer Repulsion be -ar r ( de = dr 0 DIST Coulombic Attraction ( -Aq q 1 2 r (a common value for a is 2.899) We are almost ready to determine whether bonding in NaCl is Ionic (that is can it be described by Madelung, Coulomb Born and Meyer). How? â We can Calculate the Lattice Energy.
III-9 9 ã We can Measure the Lattice Energy. â Is from Ionic Bonding only. ã Is real value. Lattice Energies (Enthalpies) (p. 455, DeKock & Gray) Definition: lattice engergy is the energy released when 1 mole of a substance is formed from its gas phase ions. e.g. Na + (g) + Cl - (g) NaCl(s) G = U first we will determine the lattice energy from experimental values.
III-10 10 Born Haber Cycle N a + ( g) + e - + C l ( g) T E N a + N a ( g) C l ( g) _ E A C l - ( g) ( N a + ( g) + 1 _ 2 B E C l 2 _ 1 N a ( g) + C l 2 ( g) 2 Hat N a ( s ) _ 1 N a ( s ) + C l 2 ( g) 2 + U ( L A T T I C E E N E R G Y ) H f N a C l ( s ) If we go round this cycle we must expend no energy (overall).
III-11 11 So, (Follow the Arrows) - H + H (Na) 1 at + BE(Cl ) + IE(Na) f 2 2 - EA(Cl) + U = 0 U = H f H at (Na) - 1 2 BE(Cl 2 ) IE+ EA U = -411 108 121 502 + 354 U NaCl = -788 kj mol -1 Now Let s Calculate U (p. 456, DeKock & Gray) Earlier We wrote down the contributions to Ionic bonding as the sum of Attractive & Repulsive terms. Aq q = r E 1 2 + be ar

III-15 15 Good Agreement (within 5%) we have ignored VDW but this is small. CONCLUSION: Substantially Ionic. Bonding in NaCl is - Extra Lattice Energy is From Covalent Bonding (Part Five) ************************************* The following may not be covered Kapustinskii Equation If Madelung Constant for a number of structures is divided by the number of ins/formula unit: approximately same value results.

III-17 17 Chemical Significance of Lattice Energies Lattice Energy (and EA) are principal (only) reasons why H f is ve. These alone make the solid stable. Look Again at the values used in the Born- Haber Calculation for NaCl. Kapustinskii Equation.
III-18 18 Lattice Energy is a good measure of stability. Increases with Ion Charge with decrease in r. Thermal Stabilities of Ionic Solids (Not in DeKock and Gray) EXAMPLE: Carbonates MCO 3 (s) MO(s) + CO 2 (g) Decomposition Temp: Is where G for above react goes ve Observed to increase as M nt gets bigger. CaCO 3 more stable than MgCO 3. i.e. Ionic Radii Ca 2+ Mg 2+ 1.00D 0.49D WHY?
III-19 19 NOTE: Thermodynamics: G = H - T S Decomp occurs when T = H (after G is S ve) For MCO 3 decomp entropy is const CO 2 formation. Enthalpy Change is good Guide of Stability Large Cations Stabilize Large Anions MCO 3 (s) MO(s) + CO 2 (g) H = H L (MO) - H L (MCO 3 ) i.e. Thermal Stability is measured by difference in Lattice Energies.

III-23 23 Structure of Ionic Solids (DeKock & Gray p. 427- )(Shriver 115-119) IONIC MATERIALS: Properties Contain Ions e.g. Na + Cl -, LiCl, CaF 2 Ionic Bonding Predominates Low Electrical Conductivity High Melting Points Hard and Brittle Soluble in Polar solvents Structure Anions and Cations pack together in solid. - Electrostatic Attraction maximized - Electrostatic Repulsion Minimized Leads to different Geometric Arrangements of Ions

III-27 27 Radius Ratio Rules In ideal ionic crystals, coordination numbers are determined largely by electrostatic considerations. Cations surround themselves with as many anions as possible and vice-versa. This can be related to the relative sizes of the ions. radius ratio rules. as r + the more anions of a particular size can pack around it.

III-30 30 (Actually 4) Graph compares structures (CsCl / NaCl) with predictions by radius ratio rules from r+/r- {r-/r+ if cation is larger} For Li+ and Na+ salts, ratios calculated from both r6 and r4 are indicated.radius ratios suggest adoption of CsCl structure more than is observed in reality NaCl structure is observed more than is predicted Radius ratios are only correct ca. 50% of the time, not very good for a family of ionic solids
III-31 31 Close Packing An alternative way of looking at Ionic Solids. Anions are often larger than cations and therefore touch. Small cations then fit in the holes between anions. Think of packing basketballs and baseballs in the most efficient way. 1926 Goldschmidt proposed atoms could be considered as packing in solids as hard spheres This reduces the problem of examining the packing of like atoms to that of examining the most efficient packing of any spherical object - e.g. have you noticed how oranges are most effectively packed in displays at your local shop?
III-32 32 CLOSE-PACKING OF SPHERES A single layer of spheres is closest-packed with a HEXAGONAL coordination of each sphere
III-33 33 A second layer of spheres is placed in the indentations left by the first layer space is trapped between the layers that is not filled by the spheres TWO different types of HOLES (so-called INTERSTITIAL sites) are left OCTAHEDRAL (O) holes with 6 nearest sphere neighbours TETRAHEDRAL (T±) holes with 4 nearest sphere neighbours
III-34 34 When a third layer of spheres is placed in the indentations of the second layer there are TWO choices The third layer lies in indentations directly in line (eclipsed) with the 1st layer Layer ordering may be described as ABA The third layer lies in the alternative indentations leaving it staggered with respect to both previous layers Layer ordering may be described as ABC
III-35 35 Close-Packed Structures The most efficient way to fill space with spheres Is there another way of packing spheres that is more space-efficient? In 1611 Johannes Kepler asserted that there was no way of packing equivalent spheres at a greater density than that of a face-centred cubic arrangement. This is now known as the Kepler Conjecture. This assertion has long remained without rigorous proof, but in August 1998 Prof. Thomas Hales of the University of Michigan announced a computer-based solution. This proof is contained in over 250 manuscript pages and relies on over 3 gigabytes of computer files and so it will be some time before it has been checked rigorously by the scientific community to ensure that the Kepler Conjecture is indeed proven!

III-46 46 Crystal Planes In looking at ionic structures in class we have seen that anions and cations tend to lie in sheets or planes. Back to NaCl Close packed layers
III-47 47 Planes of Atoms or groups are labeled using Miller Indices. Miller Indices DEFINITION: Smallest Integers which are reciprocals of the intercepts of the plane on the a, b & c axes of the tl These are given symbols h, k, l and are written {1, 1, 1} or {2, 1, 0} etc. Examples {1, 0, 0} Planes in cubic system c a b CUTS a axis at 1 1 Doesn t cut c or b axes 0, 0
III-48 48 {1, 1, 1} Planes in cubic system. c b a Cuts each axis at 1 {1, 1, 1} {0, 1, 1} Plane c a b Cuts b axis at 1 c axis at 1 a axis doesn t cut {0, 1, 1} 1,, 1 1 1 1 Can you draw the arrangement of atoms on these Planes? See also problem sets.
III-49 49 An Introduction to Diffraction Methods So far we have accepted these structures as given. They were determined using diffraction techniques. X-Ray Diffraction - tells us the size of the unit cell, where the atoms are. X-RAYS are (partially) Reflected by planes of Atoms.

III-52 52 nλ = 2dsinθ λ = wavelength of x-rays θ = angle d = distance between crystal planes. We know λ and θ therefore we can determine d for all the planes in the crystal. X-Ray diffraction patterns nowadays are produced on a computer screen from an X- ray detector. NOTE d spacing is not normally the interatomic distance. e.g. (100) in fcc d 100 Interatomic Distance
