The attraction of opposites
What Is an Ionic Bond?An ionic bond is the attraction of
two oppositely charged ions. These ions combine and the
opposite charges cancel each other out like the electrons and protons of an atom.
Combining the ions of different elements creates new matter that is useful to the world today.
For example, when a sodium atom bonds with a chlorine ion, they form sodium chloride which is table salt.
Electron TransferWhen an atom has less than eight valence electrons it is not chemically stable and must get chemically stable,It will lose electrons or gain electrons to fill its last energy level and therefore become chemically stable.
Ionic Bonding
Metals will always lose electrons to become chemically stableMetals will form positive ions
Non metals will always gain electrons to become chemically stableNonmetals will always form negative ions
Example Of An Ionic BondWhen a sodium atom and a chlorine atom combine, sodium’s one valence electron gets transferred or moved to the chlorine atom. Both atoms are now ions; – sodium is positive and – chlorine is negative. – The ions attract each other and bond.
These two form Sodium Chloride, which is table salt.
Diagram: Na + Cl
Sodium’s 1 valence electron is transferred to Chlorine.
Result: Na + Cl NaCl
Chlorine is stable (8 valence electrons).
Sodium is now stable too (8 valence electrons).
Forming Ionic BondsThings to remember!
An ionic bond is the attraction between two oppositely charged ions.Oppositely charged ions attract each other.Ionic bonds are formed when electrons are taken and not shared.
Pictures of Forming Ionic Bonds
The ions attract each other. Therefore, they bond.
Ionic bonding forms compounds
Ionic bonding doesn’t form moleculesThe oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other – forming very strong bonds!!
Crystal ShapeEvery ion in an ionic bond is attracted to ions near it that have an opposite charge.Because of this, all the ions attract many ions.Therefore, they create a shape.This shape is 3-D and is called the crystal shape.
Characteristic of ionic bonds:
Crystal ShapeIonic solids are generally high melting pointsIonic solids are hard and brittle Ionic solids conduct electricity only when they are dissolved in water
Electrical ConductivityWhen ionic compounds are dissolved in water, they conduct electricity.When they are solid, they don’t conduct.The ions are tightly bound together and have no room to move or let the electricity flow through.When dissolved, the ions move more freely; therefore, electricity can flow through them.
High Melting PointsIonic Bonds are very strong.It takes a lot of heat (energy) to make the particles have enough energy to overcome the attractive forces.Ionic bonds are so strong that all ionic bonds are solids at room temperature.

Writing Chemical formulas for ionic compounds.
• Example: • Mg Br
7 valence electrons2 valence electrons
The point of ionic bonding is giving the electron so that Br can become chemically stable, for it to become chemically stable, the valence electron has to be 8.
BrThe reason you have to double the Br is because you cant have more than 8 valence electrons in one element
The Chemical formula for this compound is MgBr2. This translates to one magnesium and two Bromide.

Polyatomic IonsA Polyatomic ion is an electrically charged collection of more than one atom. Polyatomic ions usually have a charge because the collection of atoms has either gained or lost an electron. Each polyatomic ion has an overall positive or negative charge. If a polyatomic ion combines with an ion of an opposite charge, an ionic compound forms.
Example of A Polyatomic Ion
Carbonate ion (CO32-), made of 1 carbon atom & 3 oxygen atoms. Combines with Calcium ion (Ca2+). Makes Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)

Covalent Bonding
Covalent BondingCovalent Bond: – a bond formed by the sharing of
electrons between atoms. (does NOT form charges)
– Made up of nonmetalsMolecule: a neutral group of atoms joined together by covalent bonds. (Compounds formed with ionic bonds do NOT have molecules) Molecular Formula: chemical formula for a molecular compound. It shows how many atoms of each element a molecule contains.

Difference in electronegativity determines bond type.
E difference: 0.0-0.4
E difference: 0.4-1.7
