Ions
General Rule: metals like to form compounds with nonmetals
Ion- gaining or losing 1+ electrons The atom becomes charged
o Cation- loss of 1+ electron (+)
Ex: Na+
o Anion- gain of 1+ electron (-)
Ex: Cl-
Periodic Properties
Ionization Energy- energy required to remove 1 electron from a single atom in gaseous
state
Electron Affinity- energy released on adding an electron to a single atom in the gaseous
state
o Alkali metals
Small ionization energy- electrons easily lost
Small electron affinity- electrons not easily gained
Net Result: cation formation favored
o Halogen
Large ionization energy- electron not easily lost
Large electron affinity- electron easily gained
Net Result: anion formation favored
o Main group elements neither lose nor gain electrons easily
Cations and anions form neutral bonds
Ionic Bonds
Ionic Bonds- electrical attractions between ions of opposite charges in a crystal
Ionic Solid- crystalline solid held together by ionic bonds
Ionic Compound- compounds that contain ionic bonds
Some Properties of Ionic Compounds
Ions vary in size and charge
Ions in ionic solids held together by attraction to neighbors
o Dissolving in water frees them if attraction to water is more power
Ions need to gain large amounts of energy by being heated to loosen their grip
Ionic solids will shatter if struck sharply
Ions and the Octet Rule
Main group elements undergo reactions leaving them with 8 valence electrons
Main group metals tend to lose e- to gain octet
Reactive main group nonmetals tend to gain e- to attain octet
o Product ions have filled s and p shells

Document Summary

Ions: general rule: metals like to form compounds with nonmetals. Ion- gaining or losing 1+ electrons the atom becomes charged: cation- loss of 1+ electron (+, ex: na, anion- gain of 1+ electron (-, ex: cl- Ionic bonds- electrical attractions between ions of opposite charges in a crystal. Ionic solid- crystalline solid held together by ionic bonds. Ions in ionic solids held together by attraction to neighbors: dissolving in water frees them if attraction to water is more power. Ions need to gain large amounts of energy by being heated to loosen their grip. Naming ions: metal cations (1a-3a) (cid:373)etal + (cid:862)io(cid:374)(cid:863, ex: potassium ion, transition metals, old system , smaller charges= -ous, ex: chromus ion, larger charges= -ic, ex: chromic ion, new system (roman numeral, ex: cr 2+ chromium (ii) Cr 3+ chromium (iii: anions -ide + (cid:862)io(cid:374)(cid:863, ex: sulfide ion. Formulas of ionic compounds: chemical formula tells ratios of atom to cation (equal charge)
