Study Notes
Formula Units
- Formula Unit: The lowest whole-number ratio of ions in an ionic compound
- For example, the formula for calcium fluoride is CaF₂
- Determined using the criss-cross method, balancing the charges to achieve a net charge of zero.
Chemical Bonding
- Atoms are held together by chemical bonds
- Ionic bonds form through electron transfer, creating positively and negatively charged ions.
Electron Transfer
- In Mg₃P₂, magnesium atoms lose 2 electrons each (becoming Mg²⁺), and phosphorus atoms gain 3 electrons each (becoming P³⁻)
- This involves a total transfer of 6 electrons
Lattice Energy
- Describes the strength of attraction in ionic compounds
- Higher with smaller ions (NaF > NaCl) and greater charge differences (PF₃ > SF₂)
Chemical Formulas
- In chemical formulas, the element that forms positive ions (cations, usually metals) is listed first
- Therefore, a compound named "Selenium Calcide" is incorrect because selenium is a nonmetal.
Electron Gain/Loss
- Magnesium (Mg) loses 2 electrons, while oxygen (O) gains 2 electrons.
