Learn about how atoms are joined together in various ways through ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding, involving changes in electrons. Understand how these bonds affect properties like conductivity and boiling points.

Metal and non-metal Non-metals only Metals only Atoms can be joined together in 3 possible ways Ionic Bonding Covalent Bonding Metallic Bonding All three types involve changes in the electrons in the outermost electron shells of the atoms
Ionic bonds + and - charges
n+ Lose 1 or more electrons Neutral atom Positive ion n- Gain 1 or more electrons Neutral atom Negative ion Most ionic compounds contain a metal and a non-metal. When metals react they lose outer shell electrons to leave a full electron shell. This produces a charged atom (ion) with a + charge. When non-metals react with a metal they gain electrons to achieve a full electron shell.
19 9 F Has ? Electrons in outer shell Does it need to pick up or lose electrons to make the outer shell full
19 9 F Gains 1 electron Now has more negative electrons than positive protons = a negative charge
24 12 Mg Loses 2 electrons Now has more positive protons than negative electrons = a positive charge
Loses 1 electron Na+ Na Cl Gains1 electron (from sodium) Cl Sodium atom (2.8.1) Sodium 1+ ion (2.8.0) Chlorine atom (2.8.7) Chlorine I - ion (2.8.8)

In fact the whole process will be going on in three dimensions to build up a giant 3-D lattice.
+ + + + - - - - - - - - + + + + + + + + - - - - - + - + + + + - - - - + + + + + - + - + - • Ionic compounds are very brittle. • Opposite charges attract, so neighbouring ions are pulled together. • When something hits the substance a layer of ions will be pushed so that they are next to ions with the same charge. • Attraction becomes: repulsion! Blow
+ + - - - - + + + + + + - - - - + - - + - + + - - + + + - + Molten – mobile Does conduct Solid – not free to move Doesn’t conduct - + - • Ionic substances do not conduct electricity as solids. • When molten or dissolved they will conduct (and also undergo electrolysis). • This is because the electricity is carried through the solution by the ions which are free to move when the ionic compound is molten or in solution.
The ionic bonds are very strong. Will that make ionic compounds have a high or low boiling point? High
Covalent bonding Sharing.
Covalent compounds are formed when non-metal atoms react together. • The atoms share electrons
- Figure 1 Figure 2 F F X X F F • Covalent compounds are held together by this sharing of electrons. • A pair of electrons shared in this way is known as a covalent bond. • It is sometimes represented in full bonding diagrams (see figure 1). Often these bonds are just shown as a pair of electrons (xx) or even just a line (see figure 2).
There can be small covalent molecules and large covalent molecules
Cl Cl Cl (2,8,7) (2,8,7) Cl (2,8,8) (2,8,8) Chlorine (2.8.7) needs 1 more electron to attain a full electron shell. Cl-Cl
O O H H H H H H O Hydrogen (1) needs 1 more electron but oxygen (2.6) needs 2 more. Therefore, we need 2 hydrogens.
The bonds between ATOMS that share electrons are STRONG The bonds between molecules that don’t share electrons are WEAK What effect will this have on the melting and boiling points? Will they be high or low? Low
Do these covalent molecules conduct electricity? Will they dissolve in water and spread out like ionic solids? No No
The protons sit in a sea of electrons Metallic bonding is the attraction of + metal ions for the “sea of electrons.”
Metals are not brittle. • The metal atoms are the same and exist in simple structures. • If something hits the substance, it simply moves to the next layer along. Blow
Like ionic bonds the metallic bonds are strong. Will melting points be high or low? High If the sea of electrons can flow, will metals conduct electricity? yes
