Ionic Bonding akaElectrovalent bonds
Ionic Bond • Chemical bond resulting from electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions. • Goal: achieve stable octet of electrons (noble gas configuration) • Illustrate by • Orbital notation • Lewis Dot diagrams
Three Types of Bonding • Ionic • electrons are transferred. • Covalent • electrons are shared. • Metallic • “sea of mobile electrons.”
Identify Bond Type from Formula • Ionic Compounds • metal + nonmetal • Covalent Compounds • all nonmetals • Metallic • all metals Salts
Formation of The Octets Show transfer of VALENCE electrons to achieve octet But WHICH electrons (i.e. what orbitals) are involved? A quantum mechanical representation of the electron transfer

Anions Nonmetals gain e- Cl2 (g)
Ionic Compounds • Composed of positive and negative ions combined so that compound is NEUTRAL. • Most ionic compounds are … crystalline solids. • Expressed as Formula Units, not molecules (which are covalent)! • Simplest ratio of atoms (empirical formula) metal + nonmetal
Structure of Ionic Compounds • Ions are attracted to each other by strong electrostatic interactions. • Form a crystal lattice • a regular 3-D pattern or array. • Ions are held in fixed positions in the solid state. • Unit Cell = smallest repetitive unit in lattice

Ionic Reactions Exothermic release HEAT
Strength of Ionic Bond • Lattice Energy • Energy released when one mole of an ionic crystalline compound is formed from gaseous ions. • Na+(g) + Cl−(g) → NaCl(s) The experimental lattice energy of NaCl is −787 kJ/mol. Shown as negative value Exothermic
Trends in Lattice Energy Interionic Distance Increases as Lattice Energy Decreases LiF LiCl LiI

Factors that Affect Lattice Energy • Related to the SIZE of the ions bonded. • Smaller ions generally have a more negative (larger) lattice energy. • Affected by the CHARGE on the ion. • Larger charged atoms generally have a more negative (larger) lattice energy
Oxidation Number Determines how many atoms are needed to form the ionic compound.
Na + Cl Potential Energy NaCl Ionic Bond Formation • Release ENERGY Decreasing energy means greater stability!
Properties of Ionic Compounds Memorize! • High melting points • Low vapor pressures • Solids do not conduct electricity • Melts (liquids) do conduct electricity • Solutions(aq) conduct electricity • electrolytes: substances whose water solution conducts an electric current. • Tend to be hard and brittle • Highsolubility in water.
Linus Pauling • 1954 Nobel Prize Chemistry • First to show that chemical bonds could show degrees of both a covalent and ionic nature. • Led to the development of electronegativity values.
Electronegavitity Difference • Bonding between atoms is a continuum from ionic to covalent. • The larger the difference in electronegativity between two bonded elements, the more ionic in character the bond has. • Which has more ionic character? • CaO or KF or LiH
Crystal Coordination Number • The coordination number of an atom in a molecule or a crystal is the integer number of its nearest neighbors.
