IONIC BONDING • Chemical properties, like reactivity, depend on e- configuration • When highest occupied energy level is filled, atom is STABLE and not likely to react… called the OCTET rule • Noble gases
ELECTRON SHELLS • Atomic number = number of Electrons • Electrons vary in the amount of energy they possess, and they occur at certain energy levels or electron shells. • Electron shells determine how an atom behaves when it encounters other atoms
Electrons are placed in shells according to rules: • The 1st shell can hold up to two electrons, and each shell thereafter can hold up to 8 electrons.
Octet Rule = atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons so as to have 8 electrons Gain 4 electrons • C would like to • N would like to • O would like to Gain 3 electrons Gain 2 electrons
Why are electrons important? • Elements have different electron configurations • different electron configurations mean different levels of bonding
ELECTRON DOT CONFIGURATION • Model of atom in which dots represent valence e-
CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING A. X would be the electron dot formula for 1) Na 2) K 3) Al B. X would be the electron dot 1) B 2) N 3) P C. Draw the electron dot diagram for: BeOBrMgAlH
IONIC BONDS • Atoms want to have a complete set of valence e-… they tend to react • Some achieve stable e- configurations thru transfer of e- between atoms
TRANSFER OF e- • When elements react with each other, they sometimes transfer e- • Na + Cl • p no longer = e, so it’s not neutral • ION – atom that has + or - charge • Represented w/ + or – • When atom gains e-, it becomes – • When atom loses e- , it becomes +
ANION - atom with negative charge • Named by adding –ide to end • Cl- = chloride • CATION – atom with positive charge • Named by just using element name with “ion” • Na+ - sodium ion

Its name becomes _______. • Calcium has __ valence electrons. It will (gain or lose) ___ e-, & becomes a (cation or anion) which is ( + or -) charge. Its name becomes _______.

PRACTICE NAMING IONS • Na + - Is this a cation or anion? What is its name? • N- - Is this a cation or anion? What is its name? • Beryllium --- Does it gain or lose electrons? How many? What charge does it become? Is it a cation or anion?
CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING • What is an ionic bond? • What is an ion? • Cation? • Anion? • Name these ions: Li, Mg, O, S
FORMATION OF IONIC BOND • Remember, + attracts – • Chemical Bond – force that holds atoms or ions together as a unit • Ionic Bond – force that holds cations and anions together - Formed when e- transferred

Ionic Bonds • Making Generalizations What happens to the radius of an atom when the atom loses electrons? When the atom gains electrons?Answer: With the loss of valence electrons, the radius decreases. With the addition of valence electrons, the radius increases.

Ionic Bonds • Relating Cause and Effect Explain the difference in size between a metal atom and its cation. Answer: An energy level that was occupied is no longer occupied, and the size decreases.
IONIZATION ENERGY • When atoms absorbs energy, e- can move to higher energy level • Ionization Energy – amt energy used to remove e- so it can overcome the attraction to the p • Lower ionization energy = easier to remove e- • Fig. 3 pg. 161 – Trends SUMMARIZE IT

Ionic Compounds What is the chemical formula for magnesium chloride?
A magnesium atom cannot reach a stable electron configuration by reacting with just one chlorine atom. It must transfer electrons to two chlorine atoms. After the transfer, the charge on the magnesium ion is 2+ and its symbol is Mg2+.
Ionic Compounds The formula for magnesium chloride is MgCl2. The 2 written to the right and slightly below the symbol for chlorine is used to show the relative numbers of atoms of the elements present. Magnesium chloride is used to control dust on unpaved roads.
PROPERTIES OF IONIC COMPOUNDS • All ionic compounds form crystals • High melting points (800° C) • In solid state, poor conductor of electricity • When melted or dissolved in water, good conductor • Very hard & very brittle • Properties explained by strong attractions among ions in a crystal lattice
Assessment Questions • When is an atom stable? • when its electrons are evenly distributed through its energy levels • when its lowest occupied energy level is filled with electrons • when its highest unoccupied energy level is filled with electrons • when its highest occupied energy level is filled with electrons
Assessment Questions • Which description applies to an element that has two valence electrons? • reactive metal • nonreactive metal • reactive nonmetal • nonreactive nonmetal
