Study Notes
- Ionic compounds feature positive and negative ions attracting each other.
- In solids, these ions form rigid crystalline lattices.
- Melting requires significant thermal energy due to strong attractions.
- Once melted, they conduct electricity because of mobile ions.
- Ions interact with polar water molecules, often making the compounds water-soluble.
Key Understandings of Ionic Structures
- Metal atoms lose electrons to form positive ions (cations).
- Non-metal atoms gain electrons to form negative ions (anions).
- Ionic bonds result from electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
- Binary ionic compounds are named with the cation first, followed by the anion using the suffix "ide".
- Ionic compounds form 3D lattice structures represented by empirical formulas.
Introduction to Bonds and Structures
- Atoms connect in diverse ways, either with the same or different elements.
- Arrangements and bond features cause different properties.
- Chemical bonds hold atoms, specifically ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds.
- These bonds lead to four structure types: ionic, molecular covalent, covalent network, and metallic.
- Covalent substances exist as continuous 3D networks or discrete molecules.
Models
- Scientific models simplify and represent complex phenomena like bonding.
- An important reason for applying bonding models is the ability to visualize what we cannot observe directly.
- All models have limitations that need to be understood.
Chemical Bonds
- These represent strong attractions holding atoms/ions together.
- All chemical bonds occur due to attractions between positive and negative species.
- The type is reliant on the species involved.
Understanding Types of Bonding
- Ionic: Cations attract anions.
- Covalent: Atomic nuclei attract a shared pair of electrons.
- Metallic: Cations attract delocalized electrons.
Ions
- Sodium chloride and copper(II) sulfate exemplify ionic compounds.
- They are crystalline and brittle, a characteristic of ionic compounds.
- As solids, they're poor conductors, but molten/dissolved, they conduct well.
- The reactions/properties differ from their elements.
- Sodium chloride is water-soluble.
- Elemental sodium is a reactive metal, and chlorine is a poisonous gas.
Cations and Anions
- Sodium chloride has sodium ions, not atoms, which behave differently.
- Three differences exist between sodium atoms (Na) and ions (Na+).
- These are number of electrons, electron arrangement, and charge.
- Sodium atoms are neutral, while ions have a 1+ charge (Na+).
- Ions with more protons than electrons are cations with positive charges.
- Ions with more electrons than protons are anions with negative charges.
Predicting Ion Charges
- Main group elements in groups 1, 2, 13, 15, 16, and 17 form predictable ions.
- Examples: Na (1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹) becomes Na+ (1s²2s²2p⁶) by losing an electron.
- Species sharing electron configuration are isoelectronic.
- Cations achieve noble gas configurations by losing valence electrons.
- This loss makes them positively charged.
- Anions form by gaining electrons to achieve noble gas configuration, becoming negatively charged.
- Chlorine gains an electron instead of losing seven to achieve the configuration.
- Formation is a reduction process, while cation formation is oxidation.
- The formation of an ionic compound from its elements involves a redox reaction: 2Na(s) + Cl₂(g) → 2NaCl(s).
- Atoms achieve noble gas electron configurations by gaining/losing/sharing electrons.
- Often referred to as the octet rule.
- Main group elements relate to ion charge by group number.
- Groups 1, 2, and 13 form 1+, 2+, and 3+ ions, respectively.
- Groups 15, 16, and 17 form 3−, 2−, and 1− ions, respectively.
- Hydrogen forms H+ (proton) or H- (hydride) ions.
- High charge density in H+ allows easy bonding with other species.
Transition Elements
- They have partially filled d sublevels
- Can form multiple ions with varied charges.
- Ionization involves losing 4s electrons before 3d.
- Variable oxidation states are due to similar 4s and 3d sublevel energies.
- Successive ionization energy data helps study variable oxidation states.
Electronegativity
- Measure of atom's ability to attract covalently bonded electrons
- Used to estimate bond ionicity.
- Values are on the Pauling scale from 0.8 to 4.0.
- Ionic bonding occurs when electronegativity above 1.8.
Periodic Table Position and Ion Character
- Elements with large electronegativity differences are at greater horizontal distances in the periodic table.
Polyatomic Ions
- Some ionic compounds contain more than two elements.
- Polyatomic ions contain several atoms.
- Ammonium ions (NH₄⁺) are polyatomic.
Naming Ionic Compounds
- The cation name is given as the first, which is further followed by the anion name
- Cations adopt the name of the parent atom, which remains unchanged
- Monatomic anions get first part of the parent atom name, + "ide"
- The name doesn't reflect ion numbers
Formulas
- The name indicates elements but not the ratio.
- Net charge is zero, balancing positive and negative charges.
- The criss-cross rule is a method that swaps the charges and turns them subscript.
Ionic Lattices and Properties
- Within ionic crystals, ions are arranged in a lattice structure.
- Lattices are continuous, three-dimensional units of positive and negative ions.
- The formula is an empirical one, showing the ratio of each ion type.
- Ionic bonds are non-directional, where each ion attracts oppositely charged ions around it..
Lattice Enthalpy
- This shows the measure of the strength of attraction in the lattice.
- It is endothermic, or formation of gaseous ions from a solid lattice.
- Affected by ionic radius and charge.
- Strength of electrostatic attraction increases as ionic charge increases.
Volatility
- Refers to the tendency of a substance to vaporize (turn into a gas)
- It is very low in ionic compounds
- It reflects high boiling points
- Electrical conductivity is possible if substances move around their lattice structure
- Cations and Anions vibrate, but can’t change position
Solubility
- Ionic compounds generally dissolve easily in polar liquids such as water.
- But, do not dissolve easily in non-polar solvents such as hexane.
