Atomic Structure and Bonding unit Flashcards
Octet rule
tendancy of atoms to prefer to have 8 electrons in the valence shell
Valence shell electrons
electrons which are lost or gained to form ions
Vertical columns on periodic table

Horizontal columns on periodic table
Periods
Elements in group 7 are called
halogens
Elements in group 8 have _____ ___________ ______ and are called _________
full valence shell; noble gases
Charge of nucleus
positve
How is a sulfide ion formed? Draw
Describe ionic compounds
ionic compounds are formed during a reaction between a metal atom and a non-metal atom. The metal atom loses electrons forming positively charged ions called cations, and the non-metal atom gains electrons foorming negative ions called anions. The ions are held together by the electrostatic force of attraction of the oppositely charged atoms.
What is an ionic bond
electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
Lattice
regular repeated 3D arrangement
Giant
unlimited amount of ions, cant state how many ions there are
SO4^2-
sulfate
Hydroxide
OH-
Carbonate
CO3^2-
Nitrate
NO3^-
Phosphate
PO4^3-
Hydrogen Carbonate
HCO3^-
Ammonium
NH4^+
Cyanide
CN^-
Polyatomic meaning
composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded
describe what happens when lithium chloride forms in terms of e- transfer (5)
-lithium loses one electron
chlorine gains one e-
lithium has pos charge (cation)
chlorine has neg charge (anion)
electrostatic force of attraction b/w opposite charge
Non- metal and metal bonding
Ionic
Why do ionic compunds have high melting and boiliing points
It is a giant ionic structure and the strong electrostatic force of attraction between ions require a lot of heat energy to break
