After today, you will be able to… • Write formulas for ionic compounds • Explain what an empirical formula is • List and explain the properties of ionic bonds • Show bonding in ionic compounds using electron dot diagrams
Unit 5:Bonding Ionic Compounds & Bonding
Properties of Ionic Compounds… • Ionic bonds are very strong • Are solids at room temperature • Have high melting and boiling points • Made of a metal and a nonmetal • Does not conduct electricity in solid state, but does in the liquid and aqueous states • Aqueous:dissolved in water
Examples: The formation of ionic compounds Use electron dot structures to predict the compounds that would form between Sodium and Fluorine: To write the formula write the metal first, then the nonmetal… F Na NaF
Examples: The formation of ionic compounds Use electron dot structures to predict the compounds that would form between Magnesium and Chlorine: Cl Mg MgCl2 Cl
Examples: The formation of ionic compounds Use electron dot structures to predict the compounds that would form between Aluminum and Sulfur: Al S Al S Al2S3 S
Empirical Formulas • The chemical formula for an ionic compound is arranged in the smallest whole-number ratio is known as an empirical formula. • Example: Mg3N2 vs. Mg6N4
