ionic bonding Flashcards
what does ionic bonding involve
transfer of electrons from a metallic element to a non-metallic element
what transfer of electrons leave atom with
full outer shell
metal charge
positive
non-metal charge
negative
configuration of ions
noble gas (eg- K+ and Cl- have same configuration as arogon)
attraction of cations and anions
oppositely charged so attracted
what form between oppositely charged ions
electrostatic forces of attraction
ionic bond
electrostatic forces of attraction formed between oppositely charged ions which occurs in all directions (non-directional bonding)
strength of attraction
very strong and requires lots of energy to overcome-high melting points
structure
lattice structure which an evenly distributed crystalline structure
ionic lattice arrangement
regular repeating pattern do positive and negative charges cancel out
charge of ionic lattice
neutral
