Unit 5 Ionic Bonding
Pure Substances & Nomenclature • Pure substances can exist in several forms: I) Atomic Elements & Molecular Elements, II) Ionic Compounds and III) Molecular Compounds (studied in next unit) I. - Atomic Elements & Molecular Elements: Some elements can exist as single atoms such as He, Ne, Cu, Hg, Au, Pb, U - Molecular Elements: Some elements exist in nature as diatomic molecules: H2 N2 O2 F2 Cl2 Br2 I2 • Know these • Their names are the same as the element names Two elements are commonly polyatomic. Sulfur S8 Phosphorous P4
II. Ionic Compounds II. Ionic Compounds: These are compounds formed between ions. • The metal loses electrons to become a + ion (Cation), and the nonmetal gains electrons to become a – ion (Anion). • The + and – ions are attracted to each other in a ratio so that the resulting compound is neutral in charge; NaCl MgF2 are examples. • The formula unit is the simplest ratio of ions • These have unique names formed from naming the + ion followed by the – ion with an “ide” ending.

Valence electrons • Are electrons in highest occupied energy level of an atom. • For representative elements, number of valence electrons is the same as its group number. • Ex. Lithium is in group 1A: has 1 valence electron • Some transition metals form more than one ion. • Ex. Fe2+ and Fe3+ • Octet rule: atoms tend to achieve the electron configuration of a noble gas (8 electrons in outer energy level)by gaining or losing electrons.
elements of Group 6A have a -2 charge elements of Group 5A have a-3 charge elements of Group 2A have a+2 charge elements of Group 7A have a-1 charge Elements in Group 1A have a +1 charge The charge on an ion can be predicted from its position in the periodic table.
If one or more electrons are removed from a neutral atom a positive ion is formed. A positive ion is called a cation. remove e- → neutral atom cation
Naming Cations Cations are named the same as their parent atoms.
If one or more electrons are added to a neutral atom a negative ion is formed. A negative ion is called an anion. add e- → neutral atom anion
An anion consisting of one element has the stem of the parent element and an –ideending Naming Anions

Writing Formulas FromNames of Ionic Compounds A chemical compound must have anet charge of zero. If the compound contains ions, then the charges on all of the ions must add to zero.
Step 4: AlCl 3 Criss-Cross Method Example: Aluminum Chloride Aluminum Chloride Step 1: write out name with space Al Cl 3+ 1- Step 2: write symbols & value of charge of ions Al Cl Step 3: 1 3 criss-cross charges as subsrcipts combine as formula unit (“1” is never shown)
Criss-Cross Rule Example: Aluminum Oxide Step 1: Aluminum Oxide Step 2: Al3+ O2- Step 3: Al O 2 3 Step 4: Al2O3
Criss-Cross Rule Example: Magnesium Oxide Step 1: Magnesium Oxide Step 2: Mg2+ O2- Step 3: Mg O 2 2 Step 4: Mg2O2 Step 5: MgO Use simplest ratios
Naming ionic compounds To name an ionic compound first write the name of the cation (+ ion) followed by the name of the anion (- ion)
Naming Binary Compounds Formula Name barium oxide • BaO ____________________ • ________________ sodium bromide • MgI2 ____________________ • KCl ____________________ • ________________ strontium fluoride • ________________ cesium fluoride NaBr magnesium iodide potassium chloride SrF2 CsF

Naming Compounds Containing Polyatomic Ions A polyatomic ion is an ion that contains two or more elements.
superscripts SO42- Al3+ Al2(SO4 )3 subscripts ALUMINUM SULFATE
Rules for Parentheses Parentheses are used only when the following two condition are met: • There is a polyatomic ion present and… • There are two or more polyatomic ions in the formula. Examples: NaNO3NO31- is a polyatomic ion, but there is only one of it. Co(NO3)2NO31-is a polyatomic ion and there are two of them (NH4)2SO4NH41+is a polyatomic ion and there are two of them; SO42-is a polyatomic ion but there is only one of it.
