Study Notes
-
Ionic bonds are formed through electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in compounds or molecules.
-
In ionic bonding, valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another to follow the octet rule.
-
Cations are positively charged ions formed by losing electrons, while anions are negatively charged ions formed by gaining electrons.
-
Ionic compounds are formed when cations and anions combine via ionic bonds, typically between metals and nonmetals.
-
Naming conventions for ionic compounds involve naming the metal cation first followed by the nonmetal anion, with modifications based on charges and polyatomic ions.
-
Properties of ionic compounds include high melting and boiling points, electrical conductivity in molten or aqueous states, and forming crystal lattice structures.
-
The formula for the ionic compound formed from sodium and oxygen is Na2O, where Na has a 1+ charge and O has a 2- charge.
-
The compound formed from aluminum ions and chloride ions would be AlCl3, determined by balancing charges to zero.
-
Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.
-
Metals generally exhibit metallic bonding with delocalized electrons, while ionic compounds have strong electrostatic attractions between cations and anions.
