E N D
Ionic • BONDING
Noble Gases • Have complete outer shells that cannot accept anymore electrons • Unreactive • Will not combine (form bonds) with any other element 2 2,8 2,8, 8 2,8, 8, 18
Metal atoms • Metal atoms have incomplete outer shells • Have 1, 2 or 3 electrons on their outer shell • Metal atoms want to LOSE these extra electrons in order to have a full outer shell (like the noble gases)
Metal atoms • Metal atoms lose electrons to form a CATION • CATION: when a neutral metal atom loses one or more electrons to form a positively charged ion 2,8,1 2,8
Metal Cations • Possible Metal Cations: Lose 1 electron = +1 eg. K+ Lose 2 electrons = +2 eg. Ca2+ Lose 3 electrons = +3 eg. Al3+ Aluminum metal lost 3 electrons to become stable
Non-metal Atoms • Non-metals have incomplete outer shells • Have 5, 6, or 7 electrons on their outer shell • Non-Metal atoms want to GAIN additional electrons in order to have a full outer shell (like the noble gases) 2, 8, 7 2, 6
Non-Metal atoms • Non-Metal atoms gain electrons to form an ANION • ANION: when a neutral non-metal atom gains one or more electrons to form a negatively charged ion 2,8,7 2,8,8
Non-Metal Anions • Possible Non-Metal Anions: Gain 1 electron = -1 eg. F- Gain 2 electrons = -2 eg. O2- Gain 3 electrons = -3 eg. S3- Sulfur non-metal atom gains 3 electrons to become stable
Ionic Bonds • - results from the TRANSFER of electrons from a metal to a non-metal • Lithium atom needs to lose 1e- where Fluorine atom needs to gain 1e- • What a perfect match! • They will form an ionic bond! • Cations Anions
Properties • Highmelting points because of strong attractions between cations and anions • Soluble in water
Conducts electricity because of the charged ions freely moving in water (but not in solid state)
4. Brittle – similar ions can repel if they come into contact
