Most stable atoms
Noble gases
Ionic Bond
String electro static forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
What to atoms do to become more stable?
Lose or gain electrons
Group and how many they will lose
Group 1 -LOSE 1
G2-LOSE 2
G3-LOSE 3
G5-GAIN 3
G6-GAIN 2
G7-GAIN 1
Positively charged ion
Cations
negatively charged ions
anions
Charge if loses or gains
LOSE 1= 1+
LOSE 2= 2+
LOSE 3= 3+
GAIN 3= 3-
GAIN 2= 2-
GAIN 1= 1-
How are ionic bonds formed
when two elements transfer electrons
Ion
atom or group of atoms with electrical charge
charged particle
Giant ionic lattice
Billions + Billions of ions in a regular arrangement(rows and columns)
forms crystals
ionic compound contains..
ions
Why is a lot of energy needed to break ionic bonds
the electrostatic force of attractions of charged ions are strong needing a lot of energy to break/overcome
Why do ionic compound have have high mp + bp ?
have strong bonds needing lots of energy =why they must be heated temps so the giant ionic lattice is broken
Why do some ions need more energy than others
Have more than one charge needing more energy
Do ionic compound conduct electricity?
when they are molten or dissolved in water
DON’T CONDUCT ELECTRICITY IN SOLID STATE
