“NaCl Structure” Ionic Bond 2.8 Ang u = (A q1 q2 )/r Bond Energy is proportional to product of charges & inverse to bond length
Electronegativity: atom’s attractionfor electrons in a bond (empirical) Electron Acceptors H – H = 0, pure covalent O – H = 1.4, polar covalent F – Na = 3.1, pure ionic Electron Donors

Limiting Radius Ratios – Coordinating anions contact each other & cation (Pauling’s 1st rule)
What is the Numerical Value of ionic radius?
What's the Numerical Value of a specific Ionic Radius? • Ionic Radii in most scales do not generally meet at experimental electron density minima, because of polarization of the anion by the cation • The various scales are designed to be self-consistent in reproducing ro = r+ + r- • Ionic radii change with coordination number • r8 > r6 > r4 {use the appropriate one!} • Use the same scale for cation and anion
