Study Notes
Ionic Bonds and Charge Determination
- Ions are atoms or groups of atoms with a net positive or negative charge.
- Cations are positively charged ions formed when metals lose electrons. The charge equals the number of electrons lost.
- Example: Sodium (Na, Group 1) forms Na+ with a +1 charge.
- Example: Magnesium (Mg, Group 2) forms Mg2+ with a +2 charge.
- Anions are negatively charged ions formed when nonmetals gain electrons. The charge equals the number of electrons gained.
- Example: Chlorine (Cl, Group 17) forms Cl− with a −1 charge.
- Example: Oxygen (O, Group 16) forms O2− with a −2 charge.
- Common ionic charges by group:
- Group 1: +1
- Group 2: +2
- Group 13: +3
- Group 16: −2
- Group 17: −1
- Group 14 (Carbon Group) is a special case: can lose 4 electrons forming +4 ion or gain 4 forming −4 ions, but typically forms covalent bonds instead.
Lattice Energy
- Lattice energy is the energy needed to separate one mole of an ionic solid into its gaseous ions.
- Lattice energy is proportional to (charge of ion 1 * charge of ion 2) / (distance between ions).
- Higher charges result in stronger attractions and higher (more negative) lattice energy.
- Smaller ion radii lead to shorter distances and higher lattice energy.
- Factors Affecting Lattice Energy:
- Higher ion charges = Higher lattice energy.
- Smaller ion sizes = Higher lattice energy.
Determining Ionic Radii
- Ionic radius is the size of an ion in a crystal lattice, often different from the atomic radius.
- Cations are smaller than their corresponding neutral atoms, losing electrons.
- Anions are larger than their corresponding neutral atoms, gaining electrons.
- Ionic radius trends:
- Higher positive charge = Smaller ionic radius.
- Higher negative charge = Larger ionic radius.
- Example values:
- Na+: 102 pm
- Mg2+: 72 pm
- Cl−: 181 pm
- F−: 133 pm
