Ionic bonding

Learning goals We are learning to identify ionic compounds. We are learning to name ionic compounds. We are learning to give chemical formulae for ionic compounds.

Reminder … The Atom The smallest building block of matter. 3 p+ 4 n0 The smallest building block of matter. Contains three sub-atomic particles: Proton (p+): Positively charged, inside the nucleus. Neutron (no): No charge, inside the nucleus. Electron (e-): Negatively charged, in shells around the nucleus. Valence Shell: The outermost shell in an atom. Bohr-Rutherford Diagram of Lithium

The Atom & The Periodic Table The periodic table is arranged into groups (columns) and periods (rows). It has three major classifications: metals, non-metals & metalloids. The staircase line runs through the metalloids. The group number of an element corresponds to the number of electrons in its valence shell.

Ions Atoms that have an unequal amount of protons and electrons are called ions. Two types: Cations (positive ions): # of electrons < # of protons Anions (negative ions): # of electrons > # of protons Metals form cations, Non-Metals form anions.

Ionic Bonding Combination of metal(s) and non-metal(s) elements. Involves a transferring of electrons: Metals lose electron(s) to gain a full octet. Non-Metals gain electron(s) to gain a full octet. Name ends in “-ide”.
