Study Notes
Ionic Bonds Overview
- An ionic bond is established between a metal and a nonmetal through the transfer of electrons.
- These bonds form due to attractions between oppositely charged ions resulting from electron transfers.
Structure and Properties of Ionic Compounds
- Ionic compounds exist as solids in their natural state.
- When ionic compounds are dissolved in water or melted, they can conduct electricity due to the movement of ions.
- Ionic bonds create a network structure, where ions are arranged in a repeating pattern.
Bond Formation
- Atoms bond to achieve a stable electron configuration, meaning a complete outer shell of electrons.
- There are two primary types of chemical bonding: ionic and covalent.
- Ionic bonds typically occur when one atom has a greater attraction for electrons than another, leading to the transfer of electrons.
Characteristics of Ionic Compounds
- The smallest ratio of ions in an ionic compound is known as a formula unit.
- Ionic compounds generally have high melting and boiling points due to the strong attractions between ions.
- In room temperature conditions, ionic compounds remain solid.
Summary of Ionic Bond Features
- The valence electrons involved in ionic bonds are transferred from one atom to another, leading to ion formation.
- All substances can be made from ionic compounds, emphasizing the prevalence of these bonds in various materials.
- Ionic compounds are fundamentally networks rather than individual molecules, contributing to their unique properties.
