Ions form…

when atoms lose/gain electrons
Negative ions (anions) form when atoms gain electrons
Positive ions (cations) form when atoms lose electrons

Using group number to predict ions formed

Groups 1, 2, 3 are metals. They lose electrons to form +ve ions.

Groups 5, 6, 7, are non-metals. They gain electrons to form -ve ions.

Elements in same group have same number of electrons in outer shell
So can lose/gain same number of outer electrons
So form ions with same charge

Ionic compounds are produced by…

transfer of electrons

  • When metal + non-metal react, metal atom loses electrons to form positive ion and non-metal gains these electrons to form negative ion

Formula of ionic compounds

Ionic compounds are made up of positively charged part + negatively charged part

Overall charge of ionic compound = 0

So negative charges must balance positive charges

<p>Ionic compounds are made up of <strong>positively charged </strong>part + <strong>negatively charged </strong>part</p><p><strong>Overall charge </strong>of <strong>ionic compound</strong> = <strong>0</strong></p><p>So <strong>negative charges </strong>must <strong>balance positive charges</strong></p>

Ionic dot and cross diagrams

  • Dots represent electrons from one of the atoms

  • Crosses represent atoms from the other atom

Ionic bond

Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions

19
New cards

Giant ionic lattice

  • Compounds with ionic bonding have giant ionic structures

  • Ions held together in closely packed 3D lattice

  • Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions is very strong

  • → a lot of energy needed to overcome strong attraction

  • → high melting + boiling points

Ionic compound electrical conductivity

  • Solid - don’t conduct electricity

  • Molten/in aqueous solution - conduct electricity
