Ionic Bond • Chemical bond resulting from electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions. • Goal: achieve stable octet of electrons (noble gas configuration) • Illustrate by • Orbital notation • Lewis Dot diagrams
Formation of The Octets Show transfer of VALENCE electrons to achieve octet But WHICH electrons (i.e. what orbitals) are involved? A quantum mechanical representation of the electron transfer
Three Types of Bonding • Ionic • electrons are transferred. • Covalent • electrons are shared. • Metallic • “sea of mobile electrons.”
Identify Bond Type from Formula • Ionic Compounds • metal + nonmetal • Covalent Compounds • nonmetal + nonmetal • Metallic • metal symbol Salts
Na metal Cations Metals lose e-
Anions Nonmetals gain e- Cl2 (g)
Ionic Compounds • Composed of positive and negative ions combined so that compound is NEUTRAL. • Most ionic compounds are … crystalline solids. • Expressed as Formula Units, not molecules (which are covalent)! • Simplest ratio of atoms (empirical formula) metal + nonmetal
Structure of Ionic Compounds • Ions are attracted to each other by strong electrostatic interactions. • Form a crystal lattice • a regular 3-D pattern or array. • Ions are held in fixed positions in the solid state. • Unit Cell = smallest repetitive unit in lattice
Strength of Ionic Bond • Lattice Energy • Energy released when one mole of an ionic crystalline compound is formed from gaseous ions. Na+(g) + Cl−(g) → NaCl(s) The experimental lattice energy of NaCl is −787 kJ/mol. Shown as negative value Exothermic

Oxidation Number Determines how many atoms are needed to form the ionic compound.
Properties of Ionic Compounds Memorize! • High melting points • Low vapor pressures • Solids do not conduct electricity • Melts (liquids) do conduct electricity • Solutions(aq) conduct electricity • electrolytes: substances whose water solution conducts an electric current. • Tend to be hard and brittle • Highsolubility in water.
Aside: What Conducts Electricity? ***MOBILE CHARGED PARTICLES*** • If something conducts a current, it has some kind of mobile charged particles: either electrons (solids) or ions (solutions). • If something doesn’t conduct, it doesn’t have particles that are both mobile andcharged. Memorize this!
Linus Pauling • 1954 Nobel Prize Chemistry • First to show that chemical bonds could show degrees of both a covalent and ionic nature. • Led to the development of electronegativity values.
Electronegavitity Difference • Bonding between atoms is a continuum from ionic to covalent. • The larger the difference in electronegativity between two bonded elements, the more ionic in character the bond has. • Which has more ionic character? • CaO or KF or LiH
