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
Why can they only conduct in molten state
Able to move freely unlike in solids where they can only vibrate
so they cat carry electrical charge
Covalent bonds
Between non metals and non metals
Ionic bonding
Metals + non-metals
What happens in Covalent bonding
Cant transfer electrons in non-metals so they share
How is covalent bonding formed
Between non-metals
electrons shared between two atoms
covalent bonds between molecules are strong
strong electrostatic forces of attraction between positive nucleus and negative electrons
Bonds
1 electron between 2 atoms-single bond
2 pairs of electrons-double
3 pairs of electrons-triple
Molecular compounds
some compounds exist as molecules-distinct groups of atoms joined together
covalent, simple molecular structures
e.g H2O
MP + BP of molecular compounds
Covalent bonds are strong forces of attraction
HOWEVER
also have weak forces of attraction between molecules(INTERMOLECULAR FORCES)
LOW MP + MP
Do molecular compoun?ds conduct electricity
Simple molecules have no overall charge (no mobile charge) + cant carry electrical current
electrons cant flow
