1 Ionic Bonding  Electrons are transferred  Electronegativity differences are generally greater than 1.7  The formation of ionic bonds is always exothermic!

2 Determination of Ionic Character Compounds are ionic if they conduct electricity in their molten state Electronegativity difference is not the final determination of ionic character

3 Coulomb’s Law “The energy of interaction between a pair of ions is proportional to the product of their charges, divided by the distance between their centers”

4 Table of Ion Sizes

5 Sodium Chloride Crystal Lattice Ionic compounds form solid crystals at ordinary temperatures. Ionic compounds organize in a characteristic crystal lattice of alternating positive and negative ions. All salts are ionic compounds and form crystals.

6 Properties of Ionic Compounds
