Ionic Compounds SNC2DI
Terms to Know • Valence • The combining capacity of an element • Valence shell • The outer electron shell of an atom, the electrons in this shell are called valence electrons
Anions 1- Cl Cl • The chlorine atom now has a charge of -1 because it has gained an electron.
Cations 1+ Na Na • The sodium atom is now an ion with a charge of +1 because it has lost an electron.
The Ionic Bond • An ionic bond is when an electron from one atom is given to another atom and they are held together by strong electrostatic forces • Ionic compounds are formed when ions form a compound
Formulas for Ionic Compounds • Write symbols with the metal first (metal+nonmetal • Write the combining capacity for each element over the symbol • Use “cross over” method and reduce numbers to lowest ratio 2- 2+ 3+ 2- S S Mg Mg S Al 3 2 2 2
Naming Ionic Compounds • Metal first • non-metal second • Change ending of non-metal to “ide” magnesium + fluorine magnesium fluoride aluminum + sulphur aluminum sulphide
Multivalent Ions • Some metals form more than one type of ion • E.g. Fe can be Fe2+ or Fe3+ and we use roman numerals to tell them apart
Formulas for Multivalent Ions • iron (II) + fluorine iron (II) fluoride Fe F FeF2 • iron (III) + fluorine iron (III) fluoride Fe F FeF3 2+ 1- 3+ 1-
