Document Summary

Ionic compounds are not made of individual molecules like in covalent bonding; they exist as crystal lattices: a repeating structure where the ions are, attractive forces between ions are very strong; these compounds have high melting points. Coulo(cid:373)(cid:271)(cid:859)s la(cid:449: mathematical representation of the magnitude of the attractive force between anions and cations, bond forces increase as r decreases, *for the exam you should be able to compare ionic bonds and say which one is stronger. Formal charge: formal charges on atoms in a molecule indicate which atoms have more electrons than normal (negative) or fewer electrons than normal (positive). For a neutral atom, n has 5 valence electrons. Any extras go on the central atom: form double or triple bonds to ensure that each atom has an octet, assign formal charges as a test.
