Ionic Bonding

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
valence electrons   outermost "s" and "p" electrons in an atom  
🗑
electron dot diagrams   depicts valence electrons  
🗑
lewis dot diagram   does not distinguish between "s" and "p" electrons, fills spots one at a time in all four sides (orbitals)  
🗑
cation   a positively charged ion that is formed when an atom loses one or more electrons  
🗑
anion   a negatively charged ion that is formed when an atom gains one or more electrons; monatomic anions are named with an "-ide" ending  
🗑
noble gases   (1) most stable because outermost "s" and "p" subshells are filled (2) of lowest energy and chemical reactivity because of their stable electron configurations  
🗑
monatomic ion   a single atom ion  
🗑
polyatomic ion   a group of atoms with a charge  
🗑
octet rule   states that atoms react by changing the number of their electrons to acquire the stable electron structure of noble gases (full outer shell)  
🗑
metals obey the octet rule by ___ to form ___   losing electrons...cations  
🗑
nonmetals obey the octet rule by ___ to form ___   gaining electrons...anions  
🗑
ionic bond   the force of attraction that binds oppositely charged ions together  
🗑
HOW ARE IONIC BONDS FORMED   FIND THE ANSWER TO THIS  
🗑
formula unit   collection of independent ions that bond together to form a crystal and has the following properties: (1) composed of cations and anions (2) have a neutral charge (3) held together by ionic bonds  
🗑
solid crystalline structure   a repeating three-dimensional pattern  
🗑
coordination number   the number of oppositely charged ions touching a single ion  
🗑
(1) the shape of a crystal is determined by the ___ and ___ of the ions   charge...size  
🗑
(2) brittle   when a force is applied to an ionic compound, like charges are forced together and in response, the like charges repel and the crystal chatters into many smaller crystals  
🗑
(3) high melting points   determined by the strength of the bond...the stronger the bond, the higher the melting point  
🗑
(4) not flammable   crystal will NOT combust when exposed to direct heat  
🗑
(5) readily soluble in water   ionic compounds easily dissolve in water because they dissociate (separate into individual ions when dissolved in water)  
🗑
(6) does NOT conduct electricity as a solid   must have free movement of charge to conduct electricity crystal structure means ions are "locked" into a fixed position and unable to move freely, thus do not conduct electricity  
🗑
(7) conducts electricity as a liquid   when melted, ionic bonds break, which frees ions and allows them to move freely and thus, conduct electricity  
🗑
(8) conducts electricity as a solution   because ionic compounds dissociate when dissolved in water, the ions are free to move around and thus conduct electricity  
🗑
representative metals   the smallest particle of a substance that keeps the identity of that substance, and come in three types  
🗑
atom   representative part for an ELEMENT  
🗑
formula unit   the representative particle for an IONIC COMPOUND because it is the smallest particle of an ionic compound that keeps the identity of that compound  
🗑
molecule   the representative part for a MOLECULAR COMPOUND  
🗑
**an ionic compound consists of a cation and an anion   ...  
🗑
metallic bond   the attraction between the free floating valence electrons (sea of electrons) and fixed positive nuclei of the metal atoms  
🗑
**metallic bonds are non-directional   ...  
🗑
properties of metals:   ...  
🗑
(1) malleable (able to be smashed into thin sheets) (2) ductile (able to be put into wire)   atoms can slide over one another because metallic bonds are non-directional  
🗑
(3) good conductors of heat (4) good conductors of electricity   sea of electrons allows free floating valence electrons  
🗑
(5) crystalline structure   1. face centered cubic 2. hexagonal closest packing 3. body centered cubic 4. coordination number  
🗑
coordination number   the number of oppositely charged ions that touch an ion  
🗑
alloys   a solution (mixture combined physically) of metals, which are homogeneous  
🗑
types of alloys:    
🗑
substitutional alloy   metal atoms mix because they are the same size  
🗑
interstitial alloy   component metals are different sizes, essentially, smaller ones go into bigger ones  
🗑
