Elements found in Abundance in the Earth’s Crust
Only Five Elements account for 93% of the mass ofThe earth’s crust
What do you think they might be?
5 elements make up 93% of the earths crust
And only 8 make up 99% of the entire mass
But consider the diversity of compounds in our world! How Can there be so many different combinations?
33
Types of BondsTypes of Bonds
Elements combine by forming what is called theCHEMICAL BOND
So … What is a Chemical Bond?
“ A Chemical Bond is a FORCE OF ATTRACTION holding two or more atoms together”
Compound diversity found in the world is aconsequence of the many possible ways elementscan combine with one another.

Types of BondsTypes of Bonds
There are several different types of Chemical Bonds:
IonicMetallicNetworkCovalentPolar Covalent
All these bond types involve ONLY the electrons in the atoms valence shell, i.e. the valence electrons
55
Ionic BondsIonic BondsIn this unit we’ll discuss Ionic compounds first.
Everyone is familiar with STATIC ELECTRICITY
- Such as when you get a shock touching a doorknob after walking across a rug in the winter
- In this case you’re neg. and the doorknob is +
- Electrons are transferred in the process
- So… From what to what?
66
Ionic BondsIonic Bonds
Static electricity is also the basis for ionic bond formation
In Ionic bonds there are metal atoms & non-metal atoms
- We know metals want to lose electrons and Non-metals want to gain electrons. WHY?
Remember effective nuclear charge?
- During the formation of IONIC BONDS metals TRANSFER valence electrons to the non-metal

Ionic bonds are formed by the Attraction between positive andnegative ions

Electron Transfer between Sodium and Chlorine
How many electrons are transferred?
And from where to where?
2Na + Cl2 2NaCl

We know the valence electrons are involved in electron transfer to form the ionic bond
A quantum mechanical representation of the electron transfer
But WHICH electrons (i.e. what orbitals) are involved?
Formation ofThe Octets
BOTH NOW HAVE AN OCTET
1010
What are The oxidationNos. ofThese Atoms?
Remember that the number of valence electrons an atom hasdetermines its OXIDATION NUMBER
1111
Group 1 & 17Group 1 & 17The oxidation number determines how many atomsAre needed to form the ionic compound
Ox. No: +1 -1 +1 -1
Chemical Formula: M1X1 (i.e. MX) -WHY?
1212
Ox. No: -1 +2 -1
Chemical Formula: M1X2 (i.e. MX2) - WHY?
Group 2 & 17Group 2 & 17
1313
Ox. No: -2 +3 -2 +3 -2
Chemical Formula: M2X3 – WHY?
Group 13 & 16Group 13 & 16

Ionic BondsIonic Bonds
So… The driving force for ionic bond formation is the Attainment of the octet
Remember: Metals with Low IE lose electrons more readily than non-metals with higher IE
Non-metals with High Electronegativitiesattract electrons more readily than metals with Lower Electronegativities
1515
And… for Metals lower Ionization energy means High Reactivity.For Non-metals lower Electronegativity means Lower Reactivity.
Therefore Francium and Fluorine are the most Reactive elements.

Electronegativity DifferenceElectronegativity DifferenceThe ability to fully transfer or accept electronsDefines ionic bonds we can determine which bonds areMore ionic than others by calculating the difference inEN Between the Atoms
When the difference inElectronegativityBetween 2 elementsIs greater than 1.7 theElements will form anIonic bond
For Example
Fr+ F-
EN Diff = 3.3Most ionic compound
Non-ionic ionic ionic

We saw that when Na and Cl2 react there is a largeamount of heat released
We’ve burned Mg in air (O2) and saw that inthis reaction there is also a lot ofHeat & light released
All IONIC REACTIONS areCharacterized by the release of heati.e. they are EXOTHERMIC
Reaction of sodium metal and chlorine gas

Bond FormationBond FormationWhen we release heat we are releasing energy
Therefore ionic reaction products have less energyThan the starting reactants
- Decreasing energy means greater stability
