Matter Trends and Chemical Bonding Expectations: B2.1, B2.4, B2.6, B2.7, B3.4, B Ionic Compounds

Learning Goals By the end of this class I will… – Identify ionic compounds – Break down the process of ionic bonding – Derive chemical symbols for ions – Derive ionic formulas

Last Class Identified periodic trends – Atomic radii – Ionization energy – Electron affinity

Ionic Compounds Recall: – A compound is a pure substance made up of 2 or more elements. – An ion is an atom or a group of atoms that have either a positive charge or a negative charge An ionic compound is a compound that is formed between cations and anions

Ionic Compounds Properties Hard and Brittle High melting and boiling points Conduct electricity when dissolved in water – Solutions of ionic compounds in water are called electrolytes

Ionic Bonding Ionic Compound = Metal + Non-metal In ionic bonding, a non-metal atom removes an electron from a metal atom. – Metal loses electrons to form a stable cation – Non-metal gains electrons to form a stable anion The oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other by electrostatic forces, which are the basis of the ionic bond.

Ionic Bonding The result is a compound that has a neutral charge – EXAMPLE: Na + + Cl - = NaCl (neutral) **The total positive charge must balance** the total negative charge

Ionic Formula Try together: – calcium and chlorine – lithium and nitrogen – magnesium and oxygen – magnesium and nitrogen

Drawing Chemical Symbols Ions as Lewis Structures: 1.Draw square brackets around the ion 2.indicate the charge outside the brackets, ie: Na + and S 2- [Na] + [ S ] 2-.. : :
