2. Section 7.1 Ion Formation • Define a chemical bond. octet rule: atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to acquire eight valence electrons • Describe the formation of positive and negative ions. • Relate ion formation to electron configuration. chemical bond cation anion Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose valence electrons to achieve a stable octet electron configuration. Section 7-1

3. Valence Electrons and Chemical Bonds • A ____________ ________ is the force that holds two atoms together. • Chemical bonds form by the attraction between the positive nucleus of one atom and the negative electrons of another atom. Section 7-1

4. Valence Electrons and Chemical Bonds (cont.) • Atom’s try to form the octet—the stable arrangement of eight valence electrons in the outer energy level—by gaining or losing valence electrons. Section 7-1

5. Positive Ion (Cation) Formation • A positively charged ion is called a ________. Section 7-1

6. Positive Ion Formation (cont.) • Metals are reactive because they lose valence electrons easily. Section 7-1

7. Positive Ion Formation (cont.) • Transition metals commonly form +2 or +3 ions, but can form greater than +3 ions. • Other relatively stable electron arrangements are referred to as pseudo-noble gas configurations. Section 7-1

8. Negative Ion (Anion) Formation • An ____________ is a negatively charged ion. • Most nonmetal ions gain the number of electrons required to fill an octet. Section 7-1

9. Section 7.2 Ionic Bonds and Ionic Compounds • Describethe formation of ionic bonds and the structure of ionic compounds. • Generalizeabout the strength of ionic bonds based on the physical properties of ionic compounds. • Categorizeionic bond formation as exothermic or endothermic. compound:a chemical combination of two or more different elements Section 7-2

10. Section 7.2 Ionic Bonds and Ionic Compounds (cont.) ionic bond ionic compound crystal lattice electrolyte lattice energy Oppositely charged ions attract each other, forming electrically neutral ionic compounds. Section 7-2

11. Formation of an Ionic Bond • The electrostatic force that holds oppositely charged particles together in an ionic compound is called an ionic bond. • Compounds that contain ionic bonds are called ionic compounds. • Binary ionic compounds contain only two different elements—a metallic cation and a nonmetallic anion. Section 7-2

12. The repeating pattern of particle packing in an ionic compound is called an ionic crystal.

13. Properties of Ionic Compounds (cont.) • The strong attractions among the positive and negative ions result in the formation of the crystal lattice. • A crystal latticeis the three-dimensional geometric arrangement of particles, and is responsible for the structure of many minerals. Section 7-2

14. Properties of Ionic Compounds (cont.) • Melting point, boiling point, and hardness depend on the strength of the attraction. Section 7-2

15. Properties of Ionic Compounds (cont.) • This figure demonstrates how and why crystals break when an external force is applied. Section 7-2

16. Properties of Ionic Compounds (cont.) • In a solid, ions are locked into position and electrons cannot flow freely—solid ions are poor conductors of electricity. • Liquid ions or ions in aqueous solution have electrons that are free to move, so they conduct electricity easily. • An ion in aqueous solution that conducts electricity is an electrolyte. Section 7-2

17. Section 7.3 Names and Formulas for Ionic Compounds • Relatea formula unit of an ionic compound to its composition. • Writeformulas for ionic compounds and oxyanions. • Applynaming conventions to ionic compounds and oxyanions. nonmetal:an element that is generally a gas or a dull, brittle solid and is a poor conductor of heat and electricity Section 7-3

18. Section 7.3 Names and Formulas for Ionic Compounds (cont.) formula unit monatomic ion oxidation number polyatomic ion oxyanion In written names and formulas for ionic compounds, the cation appears first, followed by the anion. Section 7-3

19. Formulas for Ionic Compounds • Chemists around the world need to communicate with one another, so a standardized system of naming compounds was developed. • A formula unit or _________ ________ represents the simplest ratio of the ions involved. Section 7-3

20. Formulas for Ionic Compounds (cont.) • The symbol for the cation (+) is always written first, followed by the symbol of the anion (-). • Subscripts represent the number of ions of each element in an ionic compound. • The total charge must equal zero in an ionic compound. • CaO • NaP • AlS Section 7-3

21. Formulas for Ionic Compounds (cont.) • Polyatomic ionsare ions made up of more than one atom. • Never change subscripts of polyatomic ions, • place in parentheses and write the appropriate subscript outside the parentheses. • Ca (NO3) 2 Section 7-3

22. Names for Ions and Ionic Compounds (cont.) • Chemical nomenclature is a systematic way of naming compounds. • Name the cation followed by the anion. • For monatomic, cations use the element name. • For monatomic anions, use the root element name and the suffix –ide. • To distinguish between different charges of the same element, the Roman Numeral representing the oxidation state is written in parentheses after the name of the cation. • When the compound contains a polyatomic ion, name the cation followed by the name of the polyatomic ion. Section 7-3

24. Section 7.4 Metallic Bonds and the Properties of Metals • Describea metallic bond. • Relatethe electron sea model to the physical properties of metals. • Definealloys, and categorize them into two basic types. physical property:a characteristic of matter that can be observed or measured without altering the sample’s composition Section 7-4

25. Section 7.4 Metallic Bonds and the Properties of Metals (cont.) electron sea model delocalized electron metallic bond alloy Metals form crystal lattices and can be modeled as cations surrounded by a “sea” of freely moving valence electrons. Section 7-4

26. Metallic Bonds and the Properties of Metals • Metals are not ionic but share several properties with ionic compounds. • Metals also form lattices in the solid state, where 8 to 12 other atoms closely surround each metal atom. Section 7-4

27. Metallic Bonds and the Properties of Metals (cont.) • Within the crowded lattice, the outer energy levels of metal atoms overlap. • The electron sea model proposes that all metal atoms in a metallic solid contribute their valence electrons to form a "sea" of electrons. • The electrons are free to move around and are referred to as delocalized electrons, forming a metallic cation. Section 7-4

28. Metallic Bonds and the Properties of Metals (cont.) • A metallic bondis the attraction of an metallic cation for delocalized electrons. Section 7-4

29. Metallic Bonds and the Properties of Metals (cont.) • Boiling points are much more extreme than melting points because of the energy required to separate atoms from the groups of cations and electrons. Section 7-4

30. Metallic Bonds and the Properties of Metals (cont.) • Metals are malleable because they can be hammered into sheets. • Metals are ductile because they can be drawn into wires. Section 7-4

31. Metallic Bonds and the Properties of Metals (cont.) • Mobile electrons around cations make metals good conductors of electricity and heat. • As the number of delocalized electrons increases, so does hardness and strength. Section 7-4
