IONIC COMPOUNDS
Chapter 8
Forming Chemical Bonds
Section 8.1
The force that holds two atoms
together is called a chemical
bond.
Chemical bonds may form by the
attraction between a positive
nucleus and negative electrons or
the attraction between a positive
ion and a negative ion
Review…
Valence electrons are the electrons in the
outermost energy level. These same
electrons are involved in the formation of
chemical bonds between two atoms
Electron-Dot Structures
Especially useful when illustrating
formation of chemical bonds!!
From Chapter 6…
Ionization energy refers to how easily
an atom loses an electron.
Noble gases, having high ionization
energies, show a general lack of
chemical reactivity
The difference in reactivity is directly
related to the valence electrons
Elements tend to react to acquire the
stable electron structure of a noble
gas (V.E. 8)
Formation of Positive Ions
A positive ion forms when an atom
loses one or more valence electrons
in order to attain a noble gas
configuration
Positively
charged ion
is called a
cation
Transition Metals
When forming positive ions, transition
metals commonly lose their valence
electrons, forming 2+ ions.
However, it is also possible for d
electrons to be lost
A useful rule of thumb for these
metals is that they form ions with a
2+ or 3+ charge.
Nonmetals have a great attraction for
electrons and from stable outer
electron configuration by gaining
electrons
Negatively
charged ion
is called an
anion
Checkpoint
Why do ions form?
Describe the formation of positive and
negative ions.
Predict the change that must occur to
achieve noble gas stability

Answers
Atoms gain stability by losing or gaining
electrons
Positive ions form when atoms lose valence
electrons
Negative ions form when valence electrons are
added to an atom
Nitrogen- gain 3 electrons (N3-)
Sulfur- gain 2 electrons (S2-)
Barium- lose 2 electrons (Ba2+)
Lithium- lose 1 electron (Li1+)
The Formation and Nature of Ionic
Bonds (Section 8.2)
The electrostatic force
that holds oppositely
charged particles together
in an ionic compound is
referred to as an ionic
bond
Ionic bonds form between
cations (+) and anions (-)
Binary compounds contain
two different elements
Metallic cation
Nonmetallic anion
Electrons gained = electrons lost
OVERALL CHARGE OF THE COMPOUND FORMED MUST BE ZERO!!!
Properties of Ionic Compounds
1. High Melting and boiling points
(indicating strong bond
strength)
2. Most are crystalline solids at
room temperature
3. ions in a regular, geometric
pattern (crystal lattice)
4. hard, brittle
5. conduct electricity when
molten or dissolved in water
(aka electrolyte)
Names and Formulas for Ionic Compounds
(Very Important!)
Section 8.3
Terms to be familiar with:
Formula Unit- the simplest ratio of the
ions represented in an ionic compound
Monatomic Ion- a one-atom ion (Mg2+ or
Br1-)
Oxidation Number- the charge of the
monatomic ion
Polyatomic Ion- ions made up of more
than one atom (i.e. Nitrite= NO2-)

compound composed of the following pairs
of ions

Answers
1. Potassium and iodine
K+1 and I-1
KI
(1:1 ratio)
2. Magnesium and chlorine
Mg+2 and Cl-1 MgCl2 (1:2 ratio)
3. Aluminum and bromide
Al+3 and Br-1 AlBr3 (1:3 ratio)
4. Cesium and nitride
Cs+1 and N-3 Cs3N (3:1 ratio)
Compounds Containing Polyatomic
Ions
The charge given to a polyatomic ion
applies to the entire group of atoms
The polyatomic ion acts as an individual ion
NEVER CHANGE THE SUBSCRIPTS
WITHIN THE ION
If more than one polyatomic ion is needed,
place parentheses around the ion and write
the appropriate subscript outside the
parentheses.

Naming Ionic Compounds
Oxyanion- a polyatomic ion composed
of an element, usually a nonmetal,
bonded to one or more oxygen atoms
An ion with more oxygen atoms is
named using the root of the nonmetal
plus the suffix –ate (ex. NO3- nitrate)
An ion with fewer oxygen atoms is
named using the root of the nonmetal
plus the suffix –ite (ex. NO2- nitrite )
Chlorine’s 4 Oxyanions
ClO4- perchlorate (most oxygen's)
ClO3- chlorate (one less oxygen)
ClO2- chlorite (two fewer oxygen's)
ClO- hypochlorite (three fewer oxygen's)
Naming Ionic Compounds
1. Name the cation (+) first and the
anion (-) second.
2. Monatomic cations use the element
name.
3. Monatomic anions take their element
name plus the suffix –ide.
4. Group 1A and Group 2A metals have only
one oxidation number (charge). Transition
metals and metals on the right side of the
periodic table often have more than one
oxidation number.
The oxidation number is written as a
Roman numeral in parentheses after the
name of the cation
5. If the compound contains a polyatomic ion,
simply name the ion.

Metallic Bonds and Properties of
Metals (Section 8.4)
Although metals do not bond ionically,
they often form lattices in the solid
state.
Electron sea model- all the metal
atoms in a metallic solid contribute
their valence electrons to form a
“sea” of electrons
The electrons present in the outer
energy levels of the bonding metallic
ions are not held by any specific atom
and can move easily from one atom
to the next. (Delocalized electrons)
A metallic bond is the attraction of a
metallic cation for delocalized
electrons
Metal Alloys
A mixture of elements that has metallic
properties
Substitutional- atoms of the original metallic
solid are replaced by other metal atoms of
similar size
Brass, pewter, 10-carat gold, and sterling silver
Interstitial- formed when small holes in a
metallic crystal are filled with smaller atoms
Carbon steel
