Objectives • Predict the formulas of ionic compounds • Describe the structures of ionic compounds 3. Compare the size of an atom to the size of its ion
A. Stable Electron Configurations and Charges on Ions • Atoms in stable compounds usually have a noble gas electron configuration • Metals lose electrons to reach noble gas configuration • Nonmetals gain electrons to reach noble gas configuration
A. Stable Electron Configurations and Charges on Ions • Predicting Formulas of Ionic compounds • Chemical compounds are always electrically neutral
B. Ionic bonding and Structures of Ionic Compounds • Ions are packed together to maximize the attractions between ions • Structures of Ionic Compounds
B. Ionic bonding and Structures of Ionic Compounds • Cations are always smaller than the parent atom • Structures of Ionic Compounds • Anions are always larger than the parent atom
B. Ionic bonding and Structures of Ionic Compounds • Polyatomic ions work in the same way as simple ions • The covalent bonds hold the polyatomic ion together so it behaves as a unit • Ionic Compounds Containing Polyatomic Ions
