Ch. 5.2 Notes Ionic Bonding and Salts
Ionic Bonds • Cations (+) lose 1 or more e- • Anions (-) gain 1 or more e- • Receive/give e- from/to one another • Resulting + and – charges are attracted, form an ionic bond • Bond creates a compound
Example… • NaCl – sodium chloride (table salt) • Ionic compound • Na Na+ + e- • Cl + e- Cl- • The e- lost by Na is gained by Cl • Positive Na+ is attracted to negative Cl-
Energy changes • Transferring electrons/forming compounds involves energy changes • Na + energy Na+ + e- • What is this energy called? • Cl + e- Cl- + energy • Overall formation of ionic compound (also called a salt) releases energy
Energy changes • Salt formation involves endo- and exothermic steps • Overall reaction is exothermic • Amount of energy released when ionic bonds formed is called lattice energy
Ionic compounds • Ratio of anions to cations always reflects a neutral charge • For every 1 Na+, there’s 1 Cl- • For every 1 Mg2+, there’s 1 O2- • For every 1 Ca2+, there are 2 Cl-
Ionic compounds • Don’t consist of molecules • Form crystal lattice • Ex. NaCl – multiple ions bonded together, but still maintain the ration necessary for a neutral compound
Properties of Ionic Compounds • Strong bonds • High melting and boiling points • Rarely gaseous at room temp. • Hard • Brittle – break along a cleavage plane
Properties of Ionic Compounds • Conduct electric current • (Typically) only when the ions can move around freely, aren’t locked into lattice • This happens if ionic compound is in liquid state or dissolved
