Ionic Compounds and
        Metals
      Chemistry Unit 6
Main Ideas
Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose valence
electrons to achieve a stable octet electron
configuration.
Oppositely charged ion attract each other, forming
electrically neutral ionic compounds.
In written names and formulas for ionic
compounds, the cation appears first, followed by
the anion.
Metals form crystal lattices and can be modeled as
cations surrounded by a “sea’” of freely
moving valence electrons.
Ion Formation
Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose
  valence electrons to achieve a stable octet
  electron configuration.
Goals and Objectives:
  Define a chemical bond.
  Describe the formation of positive and
  negative ions.
  Relate ion formation to electron
  configuration.
Valence Electrons and
   Chemical Bonds
Chemical Bond – is a force that holds two
atoms together.
  They can form between the positive nucleus
  of one atom and the negative valence
  electrons of another atom or between two
  oppositely charged ions.
Valence Electrons and
   Chemical Bonds
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.
The transfer of valence electrons between
two atoms is based on the ionization energy
and electron affinity of the two atoms.
  Noble gases- high ionization energy + low
  electron affinity = little chemical reactivity.
Positive Ion Formation
Cation – positively charged ion
  Example:
    Sodium atom:
      1s2 2s2p6 3s1
    Sodium ion:
      1s2 2s2 p6 = neon
Positive Ion Formation
Metal atoms are reactive because they lose
valence electrons easily.
   Group 1: commonly form +1 ions
   Group 2: commonly form +2 ions
   Group 13: sometimes +3 ions
Positive Ion Formation
Transition metal ions have an outer shell of s2
   They will lose their s electrons and
   occasionally a d electron.
   Typically form +2 or +3 ions but can form
   greater than +3 ions
Positive Ion Formation
Other relatively stable electron arrangements
are referred to as pseudo-noble gas
configurations.
  Groups 11-14 will lose electrons to form full
  outer shells: s, p, and d.
Negative Ion Formation
An anion is a negatively charged ion. (Add “-
ide” to the end of the root atom name.)
   Nonmetals easily gain electrons.
   Example:
    Chlorine atom:
      1s2 2s2p6 3s2p5
    Chlorine ion:
      1s2 2s2p6 3s2p6 = Argon
Negative Ion Formation
Nonmetal ions gain the number of electrons
required to fill an octet.
Some nonmetals can gain or lose electrons to
complete an octet.
  Phosphorus can gain 3 or lose 5
  Group 15 usually gains 3 electrons
  Group 16 usually gains 2 electrons
  Group 17 usually gains 1 electron

Ionic Bonds and Ionic
     Compounds
Ionic Bonds and Ionic
           Compounds
Oppositely charged ions attract each other, forming
electrically neutral ionic compounds.
Goals and Objectives:
 Describe the formation of ionic bonds and the structure
of ionic compounds.
  Generalize about the strength of ionic bonds based on
the physical properties of ionic compounds.
  Categorize ionic bond formation as exothermic or
endothermic.
Ionic Bond
Ionic Bond is the electrostatic force that
holds oppositely charged particles together.
Ionic Compound is a compound that contains
an ionic bond.
   Ionic bonds between metals and oxygen
   are called oxides.
   Most other ionic compounds are
   considered salts.
Binary Ionic Compound
Binary Ionic compound is an ionic compound
that contains two different elements.
  One metallic cation and a nonmetallic anion.
  Examples: NaCl, MgO, KBr, LiF
Ionic Bond Formation
Electrons gained and lost in each element
must be equal. (conservation of electrons)
   Calcium and Fluorine

  Aluminum and Oxygen

  Sodium and Chlorine
Properties of Ionic
        Compounds
Compounds are organized such that a pattern
repeats to balance attraction and repulsion
Total charge of a compound is neutral
Often highly organized
Example: NaCl crystal
Crystal Lattice
A crystal lattice is a three dimensional
geometric arrangement of particles.
   Each negative ion is surrounded by a
   positive ion which results in strong
   attractions between ions.
   Size and shape are dependent on relative
   numbers of ions.
Crystal Lattice
Physical Properties:
  Characteristics of bond strength – ionic
  bonds are relatively strong and take a large
  amount of energy to break.
    Melting point – high
    Boiling point – high
    Hardness of material is high: rigid and
    brittle solids.
Properties of Ionic
   Compounds
Crystal Lattice
Characteristics of the compound:
  Conducts electricity, conditionally
    Ions in solid state ionic compounds are locked
    in place and they do not have free electrons
    in order to conduct electricity.
    Ionic compounds that are melted or dissolved
    in aqueous solutions have ions that are free
    to move and therefore do conduct electricity
       Electrolyte – an ionic compound that
       conducts electricity in an aqueous solution.
Energy and the Ionic
          Bond
Formation of ionic compounds forms a
more stable system and therefore reduces
the energy required to sustain it.
  Since the creating of bonds lowers
  energy, energy is released in the process. The
  creation of bonds is said to be Exothermic.
    Exothermic – energy is released during a
    chemical reaction.
Energy and the Ionic
          Bond
Breaking of ionic compounds reduces the
stability of a system and therefore increases
the energy required to sustain it .
  Since the creating of bonds lowers energy, the
  breaking of bonds increases energy and
  therefore it is required for the process.
    Endothermic – energy is absorbed during a
    chemical reaction.
Lattice Energy
Lattice energy is the energy required to separate 1
mole of the ions of an ionic compound.
  higher the lattice energy the stronger the bond
  strength.
  Directly related to the size of the ions bonded.
     smaller ions form compounds more closely
     because attraction increases with decreased
     distance.
  Also affected by charge of ions
    Higher ion charge typically has higher lattice
    energy.

system for communication among the science
community.

A formula unit is the chemical formula for an ionic
compound and represents the simplest ratio of
ions.

Metallic Bonds and the
 Properties of Metals
Metallic Bonds and the
  Properties of Metals
Metals form crystal lattices and can be modeled as
cations surrounded by a “sea” of freely moving valence
electrons.
Goals and Objectives:
 Describe a metallic bond.
 Relate the electron sea model to the physical
properties of metals.
  Define alloys, and categorize them into two basic
types.
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.
  Within the crowded lattice, the outer energy
  levels of metal atoms overlap.
Electron Sea Model
The electron sea model proposes that all metal
  atoms in a metallic solid contribute their
  valence electrons to form a "sea" of electron.
  The electrons are free to move around and
  are referred to as delocalized
  electrons, forming a metallic cation.
Metallic Bonds
A metallic bondis the attraction of an metallic
  cation for delocalized electrons
Properties of Metals
Boiling points are much more extreme than
melting points because of the energy
required to separate atoms from the groups
of cations and electrons.
Properties of Metals
Metals are malleable because they can be
hammered into sheets.
Metals are ductile because they can be drawn
into wires.
Properties of Metals
Mobile electrons around cations make metals
good conductors of electricity and heat.
As the number of delocalized electrons
increases, so does hardness and strength.
Metal Alloys
An alloy is a mixture of elements that has
  metallic properties.
  The properties of alloys differ from the
  elements they contain.
Metal Alloys
Metal Alloys
Substitutional alloys are formed when some
atoms in the original metallic solid are
replaced by other metals of similar atomic
structure.
Interstitial alloys are formed when small
holes in a metallic crystal are filled with
smaller atoms.
