Study Notes
Chemical Properties
- Oxygen is most similar to Fluorine in its properties.
- Elements in the same group of the periodic table tend to have similar properties.
- Ions are atoms that have gained or lost electrons.
- Anions are negatively charged and cations are positively charged.
Ionic Bonding
- Ionic compounds are formed between metals and nonmetals.
- Nonmetals tend to form anions and metals tend to form cations.
- The electronegativity difference between elements in an ionic bond is large.
- Ionic bonds result from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
- The formula of an ionic compound represents the simplest whole number ratio of cations and anions.
Nomenclature of Ionic Compounds
- The name of the cation comes first, followed by the name of the anion.
- Roman numerals are used to indicate the charge of the cation if the metal has multiple possible charges.
- The anion's name is modified to end in "-ide" if it is a monatomic ion.
- The anion's name is retained if it is a polyatomic ion.
Examples of Ionic Compounds
- NaCl is Sodium Chloride
- CaCl2 is Calcium Chloride
- MgO is Magnesium Oxide
- Al2O3 is Aluminum Oxide
- Fe2O3 is Iron(III) Oxide
- CuSO4 is Copper(II) Sulfate
- NH4NO3 is Ammonium Nitrate
- Mg(NO2)2 is Magnesium Nitrite
- PbO2 is Lead(IV) Oxide
- SnF2 is Tin(II) Fluoride
- TiO2 is Titanium (IV) Oxide
Identifying Ionic Compounds
- Ionic compounds usually have high melting and boiling points.
- Ionic compounds are typically solids at room temperature.
- The chemical formula reflects the smallest whole number ratio of ions in the crystal lattice.
Understanding the Compound Formula
- The formula of an ionic compound represents the simplest whole number ratio of cations and anions.
- The charges on the ions must balance each other in the overall compound.
- This is a fundamental concept used to predict the formulas of ionic compounds.
Trends in Ionic Bonding
- The strength of ionic bonds can be influenced by the charge on the ions and the size of the ions.
- Higher charges lead to stronger ionic bonds.
- Smaller ions lead to stronger ionic bonds.
- This understanding can help predict the properties and behaviors of ionic compounds.
Elements and Their Properties
- Elements with similar chemical and physical properties tend to be found in the same group (vertical column) of the periodic table.
- Oxygen and Fluorine are in the same group, making Fluorine the most similar to Oxygen in terms of chemical and physical properties.
- Elements in the same period (horizontal row) vary in their properties, with elements on the left typically being metals and those on the right being nonmetals.
Ions and Their Charges
- Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons.
- Anions are negatively charged ions formed by gaining electrons.
- Cations are positively charged ions formed by losing electrons.
- The charge on an ion is determined by the number of electrons gained or lost.
- Oxygen (O) forms a stable ion with a charge of 2- (O2-)
- Chlorine (Cl) forms a stable ion with a charge of 1- (Cl-)
- Aluminum (Al) forms a stable ion with a charge of 3+ (Al3+)
Ionic Compounds
- Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
- The formula of an ionic compound represents the simplest ratio of ions that results in a neutral compound.
- Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) is an example of an ionic compound, which is formed from the combination of Ca2+ and Cl- ions
- The correct formula for strontium phosphate is Sr3(PO4)2, representing the combination of Sr2+ and PO43- ions.
- The formula of the compound formed between magnesium ions and oxygen ions is MgO, forming a neutral compound based on their respective charges.
- Ammonium carbonate, an ionic compound, has a formula of (NH4)2CO3 due to the combination of NH4+ and CO32- ions.
- Lead (IV) oxide is represented by the formula PbO2, with Pb having a +4 charge.
- The charge on the titanium ion in TiO2 is +4, since Oxygen has a -2 charge, and there are 2 Oxygen atoms.
Naming Ionic Compounds
- Ionic compounds are named according to the charges of the ions involved.
- The name of the cation is written first, followed by the name of the anion.
- Roman numerals are used to indicate the charge of the metal cation, if it has multiple possible charges.
- Mg(NO2)2 would be named magnesium nitrite, as NO2 has a -1 charge.
- The name of the compound formed between calcium and a polyatomic ion X would be Potassium X (KX), as potassium is +1 and the polyatomic ion maintains the same charge.
- The formula for tin (II) fluoride is SnF2, as Sn has a +2 charge.
Ionic Compound Properties
- Ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points.
- They are good conductors of electricity when dissolved in water or melted.
- The ionic character of a compound can be estimated by comparing the electronegativity of the elements involved. Greater electronegativity difference implies a more ionic character.
- The least ionic compound out of NaCl, NaF, Ga2Se3, ZnO, and Na3PO4 is Ga2Se3. This is due to Gallium and Selenium having similar electronegativity values.
Ions in Compounds
- The number of ions present in a formula unit of an ionic compound is dependent on the charges of the ions involved.
- For example, the formula unit of ammonium nitride (NH4)3N, has 4 ammonium ions (NH4+) and one nitride ion (N3-) making a total of 5 ions.
- Assuming a group 13 element forms a compound with nitrate ions, the total number of ions present would be 4 (The group 13 element with a charge of +3 and 3 nitrate ions with a charge of -1).
Ratio of Ions in Compounds
- The ratio of ions in a formula unit of an ionic compound is determined by the charges of the ions and the need to achieve a neutral compound.
- Ammonium nitride (NH4)3N has a ratio of 3 ammonium ions to 1 nitride ion. This is calculated to make a neutral compound with ammonium having a +1 charge and nitride having a -3 charge.
- In general, the ratio of cations to anions is determined by the lowest common multiple of the charges.
