Ionic Compounds
IONIC BONDING:
IONIC BOND results as a balance between the force of attraction between opposite plus and minus charges of the ions and the force of repulsion between similar negative charges in the electron clouds. The energy required to produce positive ions (ionization potential) is roughly balanced by the energy given off to produce negative ions The energy released by the net force of attraction by the ions provides the overall stabilizing energy of the compound.
Energy + Metal Atom ---> Metal (+) ion + e-
Non-metal Atom + e- --- Non-metal (-) ion + energy
DEFINITION: The formation of an IONIC BOND is the result of the transfer of one or more electrons from a metal onto a non-metal.
Ionic compound:
consist of charged ions with opposite charges are called ionic. These ionic compounds are generally solids with high melting points, Ionic compounds are generally formed from metal and a non-metal elements.
- Crystalline solids (made of ions)
- High melting and boiling points
- Conduct electricity when melted
- Many soluble in water but not in nonpolar liquid
