Ionic and Covalent Bonding

Cation = (+) charge ion loss of valence electrons

Forming a Cation

Anion = (-) charge ion

gain of negatively charged electrons name of the anion typically ends in -ide

Oxygen

Anion that gains 2 electrons

Anions

Ionic Compounds

compounds composed of cations and anions

electrically neutral

Held together by IONIC BOND› electrostatic forces

Sodium Chloride

Chemical Formula and Formula Unit

Chemical Formula › indicates the number of atoms of each

element found in each molecule of that compound

Formula Unit = lowest whole-number ratio of ions in an ionic compound› Ionic compounds do not exist as individual

molecules

Ionic Bonding

All the electrons must be accounted for, and each atom will have a noble gas configuration (which is stable).

Ca P

Lets do an example by combining calcium and phosphorus:

the smallest representative particle

ionic compounds

crystalline solids at room temperature arranged in repeating three-

dimensional patterns very stable structure high melting points

Conductivity

Ionic compounds conduct electric current when melted or dissolved in water

“Molecule”

a neutral group of atoms joined together by covalent bonds

there is no such thing as a molecule of sodium chloride or magnesium chloride

ionic compounds exist as collections of positively and negatively charged ions

Melting and Boiling points

Molecular compounds have relatively lower melting and boiling points than ionic compounds › gases or liquids at room temperature

Molecular Formula shows how many atoms of each element

a molecule contains› water molecule = two hydrogen atoms and

one oxygen atom molecular formula = H2O.

› carbon dioxide molecule = two oxygen atoms and one carbon atom molecular formula = CO2

Note:› If there is only one atom, the subscript 1 is

omitted

Molecular Formula

The molecular formula for ethane is C2H6

› one molecule of ethane contains two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms

reflects the actual number of atoms in each molecule› not necessarily lowest whole-number ratios

Octet Rule applies to molecules

electron sharing occurs so that atoms attain the electron configurations of noble gases

likely to form covalent bonds:› atoms of the nonmetals and metalloids › Groups 4A, 5A, 6A, and 7A

Single covalent bond Two atoms held together by sharing a

pair of electrons

Halogens form single covalent bonds

pair of valence electrons not shared between atoms is called an unshared pair

H2O = 2 unshared pairs of valence electrons

one unshared pair of electrons

four single covalent bonds no unshared pairs of electrons

Double bonds and Triple bonds

two shared pairs of electrons = double covalent bond

sharing three pairs of electrons = triple covalent bond.

polyatomic ion

tightly bound group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge and behaves as a unit

Polyatomic ion

The negative charge of a polyatomic ion shows the number of electrons in addition to the valence electrons of the atoms present
