  1. What are bonds? Elements are the simplest substances that exist on Earth. Each element is made up of just one type of atom, usually joined to other atoms of the same element by bonds. This forms molecules such as chlorine (Cl2). Compounds are formed when different elements chemically react and form bonds with each other. Some compounds, like water (H20), have small, simple structures with just a few atoms bonded together. Others compounds, like DNA, have large, complex structures containing thousands or even millions of bonded atoms.

  2. Filled electron shells are very stable. Why do atoms form bonds? Bonds involve the electrons in the outer shells of atoms. Each shell has a maximum number of electrons that it can hold. Electrons fill the shells nearest the nucleus first. 1st shell holds a maximum of 2 electrons 2nd shell holds a maximum of 8 electrons 3rd shell holds a maximum of 8 electrons

  3. Why do atoms form bonds? The atoms of noble gases have completely full outer shells and so are stable. This makes the noble gases very unreactive and so they do not usually form bonds. The atoms of other elements have incomplete outer electron shells and so are unstable. By forming bonds, the atoms of these elements are able to have filled outer shells and become stable.

  4. What are the types of bonding? Different types of bonds are formed depending on the types of atoms involved: • ionic bonding – occurs between metal and non-metal atoms. • covalent bonding – occurs between non-metals atoms only. • metallic bonding – occurs between metal atoms only. All bonds involve electrons and all bonding involve changes to the number of electrons in the outer shells of atoms. How do you think electrons are involved in ionic bonding?

  5. From atoms to ions How can reactive metal atoms become stable positive ions?

  6. How do atoms form ions? An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has an electrical charge, either positive or negative. Atoms have an equal number of protons and electrons and so do not have an overall charge. Atoms with incomplete outer electron shells are unstable. By either gaining or losing electrons, atoms can obtain full outer electron shells and become stable. When this happens, atoms have an unequal number of protons and electrons and so have an overall charge. This is how atoms become ions. How does an atom become a positive or negative ion?

  7. An atom that gains electrons has more electrons than protons and so has a negative overall charge. This is called a negative ion. Positive and negative ions? An atom that loses electrons has more protons than electrons and so has a positive overall charge. This is called a positive ion. The electron configuration of an atom shows how many electrons it must lose or gain to have a filled outer shell. • Atoms with a nearly empty outer shell, will lose electrons to obtain a full outer shell. • Atoms with a nearly full outer shell, will gain electrons to obtain a full outer shell.

An atom that loses one or more electrons forms a positive ion. Metal atoms, such as sodium, magnesium and iron,form positive ions. Positive ions have a small ‘+’ symbol and a number by this to indicate how many electrons have been lost. This number is usually the same as the number of electronsin the atom’s outer shell. For example:

  9. Total charge = +1 Total charge = 0 loses 1 electron Na Na [2.8] (full outer shell) How is a sodium ion formed? Sodium atom: Sodium ion: 11 protons = +11 11 protons = +11 10 electrons = -10 11 electrons = -11 + 2.8.1 (partially full outer shell)

  10. Total charge = +2 Total charge = 0 loses 2 electrons Mg Mg [2.8]2+ (full outer shell) How is a magnesium ion formed? Magnesium atom: Magnesium ion: 12 protons = +12 12 protons = +12 10 electrons = -10 12 electrons = -12 2+ 2.8.2 (partially full outer shell)

An atom that gains one or more electrons forms a negative ion. Non-metal atoms, such as chlorine, oxygen and nitrogen,form negative ions. Negative ions have a small ‘-’ symbol and a number by this to indicate how many electrons have been gained to fill their outer shell. For example: The name of the ion is slightly different to the atom’s name.

  12. Total charge = -1 Total charge = 0 gains 1 electron F F [2.8]- (full outer shell) How is a fluoride ion formed? Fluorine atom: Fluoride ion: 9 protons = +9 9 protons = +9 10 electrons = -10 9 electrons = -9 - 2.7(partially full outer shell)

  13. Total charge = -2 Total charge = 0 gains 2 electrons S S [2.8.8]2- (full outer shell) How is a sulfide ion formed? Sulfur atom: Sulfide ion: 16 protons = +16 16 protons = +16 18 electrons = -18 16 electrons = -16 2- 2.8.6(partially full outer shell)

  16. - 2- F O Electron configuration of ions When different elements gain or lose electrons to complete their outer electron shell, they can create ions that have the same electron configuration. For example, oxygen and fluorine both gain electrons to become negative ions. The resulting ions have the same electron configuration: The number of protons and neutrons however, remain different for each element. This means that each ion has different properties.

An ion made up of a group of atoms is called a compound ion. What atoms are present in the following compound ions? hydroxide OH- -1 sulfate SO42- -2 nitrate NO3- -1 carbonate CO32- -2 ammonium NH4+ +1

  19. Comparing positive and negative ions

  20. Ions and attraction Why do some ions attract while others repel?

  21. What is ionic bonding? Compounds that contain ions are called ionic compounds. These compounds are usually formed by a reaction between a metal and a non-metal. Why do these substances react together and form bonds? The metal and non-metal atoms have incomplete outer electron shells and so are unstable. Electrons are transferred from each metal atom to each non-metal atom. The metal and the non-metal atoms form ions with completely full outer shells and become stable. The positive and negative ions are strongly attracted to each other. This electrostatic attraction is called ionic bonding.

  22. + Na Na - Cl Cl How are ionic bonds formed? Sodium chloride is an ionic compound formed by the reaction between the metal sodium and the non-metal chlorine. Sodium has 1 electron in its outer shell. By losing this electron, it has a filled outer shell and forms a positive ion. 2.8.1 [2.8]+ Chlorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell. By gaining an electron from sodium, it has a filled outer shell and forms a negative ion. 2.8.7 [2.8.8]-

  23. - + Na Cl How are ionic bonds formed? The positive sodium ions and the negative chloride ions are strongly attracted to each other. It is this electrostatic attraction that forms ionic bonds in sodium chloride and other ionic compounds.

  25. Ions and ionic bonding – summary

  26. Na Cl- Cl Na+ 1 electron O Mg Mg2+ O2- 2 electrons What is the ratio of ions? Sodium chloride (NaCl) and magnesium oxide (MgO) are simple ionic compounds. In each compound, the metal needs to lose the same number of electrons that the non-metal needs to gain. Both compounds have a 1:1 ratio of metal ions to non-metal ions, which is shown by the formula of each compound.

  27. Na Na+ 1 electron from each Na atom O2- O Na Na+ What is the ratio of ions in sodium oxide? What is the ratio of ions needed to make sodium oxide? Sodium (2.8.1) needs to lose 1 electron to form a sodium ion but oxygen (2.6) must gain 2 electrons to form an oxide ion . Two sodium atoms are required for each oxygen atom and so the ratio of sodium ions to oxide ions is 2:1. From this ratio, the formula of sodium oxide is Na2O.

  28. Cl 1 electron for each Cl atom Mg2+ Cl- Mg Cl Cl- What is the ratio of ions in magnesium chloride? What is the ratio of ions needed for magnesium chloride? Magnesium (2.8.2) needs to lose 2 electrons to form a magnesium ion but chlorine (2.8.7) needs to gain 1 electron to form an chloride ion. Two chlorine atoms are required for each magnesium atom and so the ratio of magnesium ions to chloride ions is 1:2. From this ratio, the formula of magnesium chloride is MgCl2.

  29. How to write the formula of an ionic compound The formula of a compound uses chemical symbols and numbers to show the ratio of atoms of each element present. To work out the formula of an ionic compound: 1. Write down the symbol for each element – the metal is always written first. 2. Calculate the charge for each type of ion. 3. Balance the number of ions so that the positive and negative charges are balanced and equal zero. This gives the ratio of ions. 4. Use the ratio to write down the formula of the ionic compound.

  33. What is the ionic formula?

  34. What is an ionic lattice? In an ionic compound, millions and millions of ions are packed together in a regular cubic arrangement, joined by ionic bonds. This forms a giant 3D structure called an ionic lattice. The ionic lattice will continue to build in this way until there are no more ions left to add. The structure of the ionic lattice affects the properties of the ionic compound.

  35. Why do ionic compounds form crystals? Ionic compounds such as sodium chloride, form crystals, with a cubic shape. This is due to the structure of the ionic lattice. All ionic compounds form lattices and crystals when solid.

  36. Heating ionic compounds Why are ionic compounds solid at room temperature and have high melting points and boiling points? Ion charges Melting point (oC) Boiling point (oC) Compound sodium chloride 1+ and 1- 801 1,413 2+ and 2- 2,852 3,600 magnesium oxide strong ionic bonds hold ions together Ionic bonds are strong and a lot of heat is needed to break them. Larger ionic charges produce stronger ionic bonds and so much more heat is required to break the ionic bonds in magnesium oxide than in sodium chloride.

  37. Do ionic compounds conduct electricity?

  38. How can ionic compounds conduct electricity? As solids, ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity because their ions are bonded together in the lattice. ions in solid state cannot move When liquid (molten), the ions can break free of the lattice and are able to move. The ions are charged particles and so can carry an electric current. ions in molten state can move and conduct electricity Ionic compounds are usually soluble in water because water molecules have a slight electrical charge and so can attract the ions away from the lattice. When dissolved, the ions are free to move and can carry an electric current.

  39. force Why are ionic compounds brittle? Ionic compounds are brittle – they shatter when they are hit. Ionic bonds are strong, so why does this happen? repulsion These like charges repel each other and so split the ionic lattice causing it to shatter. When the lattice is hit, a layer of ions is shifted so that ions with the same charges are lined up together.
