Study Notes
Ionic Bonds and Structures
- A chemical bond is the force holding two atoms together.
- Attraction between positively charged nuclei and negatively charged electrons, as well as between charged ions, creates chemical bonds.
- Valence electrons, located in the outermost energy level, play a critical role in bonding.
- Noble gases exhibit minimal reactivity due to their complete electron configurations.
Electron Configurations and Ions
- The octet rule describes the tendency of elements to achieve stability through a complete outer electron shell.
- Pseudo-noble gas formations occur in certain elements from groups 3, 4, 13, and 14, resulting in stable electron arrangements not achieving a full octet.
- Positive ions, known as cations, form by losing electrons, while anions are negatively charged ions formed by gaining electrons.
Ionic Compounds Characteristics
- An ionic bond is the attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically formed between metals and nonmetals.
- Formula units represent the simplest ratio of ions in ionic compounds, ensuring overall charge neutrality.
- The crystal lattice is a three-dimensional arrangement in ionic solids where ions are surrounded by oppositely charged ions.
Properties of Ionic Compounds
- Ionic compounds, such as salts, have high melting and boiling points, influenced by the strength of the crystal lattice.
- Lattice energy is the energy required to separate ions, indicating the stability of ionic compounds.
- A solution of sodium chloride does not produce chloride ions in equal concentration as calcium chloride, due to differing ionic ratios.
Ions and Their Nomenclature
- Monatomic ions consist of a single atom; their charge correlates to the atom's oxidation number.
- Polyatomic ions are composed of multiple atoms; when negatively charged and containing oxygen, they are termed oxyanions.
- Naming conventions for oxyanions include the suffix -ate for ions with more oxygen and -ite for those with fewer oxygen atoms.
Chemical Formulas and Subscripts
- In ionic compounds, the cation appears first in the chemical formula, followed by the anion.
- Subscripts indicate the number of ions present, written in the lower right of the element's symbol. If absent, the count is one.
