  1. Ionic and Metallic Bonding Chapter 7

  2. 7.1 Ions • An ion is an atom that has gained or lost electrons from the valence shell. • Valence electrons are the electrons contained in the highest occupied energy level • These electrons will mostly determine the chemical properties of the element • For representative elements, group # = # valence electrons • Exception is Helium with 2 valence e-

  3. Electron Dot Structures • Diagrams that show the number of valence electrons • Also called Lewis Dot Diagrams

  4. The Octet Rule Magic # = 8 • Gilbert Lewis recognized that Noble Gases are inert. • These elements have a full s and p sublevel and with the exception of Helium have 8 valence e-. • He realized that atoms will bond in order to achieve noble gas e- configuration. • Atoms of metals tend to lose their valence e-, leaving a complete octet in the next lowest energy level. Atoms of nonmetals tend to gain e- or to share e- with one another to complete an octet.

  5. Formation of Cations • An atom’s loss of valence e- produces a cation, or (+) charged ion. • Metals have relatively low ionization energy. It requires less energy to remove 1,2,3, or 4 valence electrons. • Metals have relatively low electronegativity and are not likely to gain electrons. • Metals will typically lose all valence electrons and have a charge equal to the number of electrons lost.

  6. E- Configuration of cations • Atoms will lose valence e- in order to achieve the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas. e- configuration for Ne

  7. Transition Metals • Transition metals do not always form Noble gas electron configuration when forming cations. • Because of the partially filled d sublevel, they form pseudo noble gas configurations • Silver will form a +1 ion • Copper can form +1 or +2

  8. Naming Cations • Once electrons are removed from a neutral atom a positive charge will exist. • For cations, the name of the metal is the same as the name of the cation. • Al is called aluminum. • Al+3 is still called aluminum.

  9. Formation of Anions • The gain of negatively charged electrons by a neutral atom produces an anion. • Most nonmetals have more than 4 e- in the valence shell. • They will gain e- in order to achieve the noble gas configuration of the nearest noble gas.

  10. Naming Anions • When atoms from group 7A gain e-, they will have a charge of -1. These anions are called halide ions. • Once a nonmetal gains electrons, the name of the ion will be different from the name of the neutral ion. • For monatomic anions, drop the ending and add –ide. • Ex: Oxide, Phosphide, Sulfide, Fluoride, Chloride

  11. 7.2 Ionic Bonds • Compounds composed of cations and anions are called ionic compounds. • Ionic compounds are typically neutral. • The electrostatic forces that hold ionic compounds together are called ionic bonds. • Just like when forming ions, ionic compounds consist of cations and anions seeking a complete octet.

  12. Formula Unit • A chemical formula shows the kinds and numbers of atomic in the smallest representative unit of a substance. • Ionic compounds are not typically found as just one unit. Typically a regular, repeating pattern of ionic bonds will exist. • In other words, a compound like NaCl will be connected to several other NaCl units. • A formula unit is the lowest whole-number ratio of ions in an ionic compound.

  13. Predicting Formula Units • Write the formula for both the cation and the anion. • Eliminate the (+) and (-) charges. • “Drop and drag” the numbers remaining as subscripts for the formula unit. • No charges will remain in the final formula.

  14. Practice Formula Writing and Naming

  15. Properties of Ionic Compounds • Most ionic compounds are crystalline solids at room temperature. • Arranged in regular, repeating, 3-D patterns • Structure is related to coordination number (number of oppositely charged ions surrounding an ion.) • See some examples here. • Ionic compounds have high melting points. • Ionic compounds conduct an electric current when melted or dissolved in water.

  16. 7.3 Bonding in Metals • Metals are made up of closely packed cations rather than neutral atoms. • The valence electrons of metals can be modeled as a sea of electrons. • Valence e- are mobile and can drift freely • Metals are ductile and malleable • Metals conduct electricity • Metal atoms are arranged in very compact and orderly patterns. • Check out this cool Nova Explanation of metals!

  17. Alloys • Alloys are mixtures composed of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal. • Alloys are important because their properties are often superior to those of their component elements. • Sterling silver: silver and copper • Bronze: copper and tin • Steel: iron, carbon, boron, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, tungsten, and vanadium
