Lesson 1
Ions
The size of the sample does not change the mass ratio (also known as
percent composition)
Ions:
When number of protons does not equal number of electrons
Ions have positive or negative charge
Ions
Metals:
Form positive ions (cations)
o lose 1 or more electrons
Charge for Group A metals can be determined by the group number
o Group 1A metals have a 1+ charge
o Group 2A metals have a 2+ charge, etc.
Group B metals form multiple cations
o Charge of 3+ or more is unlikely -- must consult a table for their
charges
o Group B metals achieve pseudo-noble gas config (18 e-s)
Ions
Non-metals:
Form negative ions (anions)
o gain 1 or more electrons
Charge for Group A non-metals is determined by the group number minus
8
o Group 5A non-metals gain 3 electrons
o Group 6A non-metals have a 2- charge
o Group 7A non-metals have a 1- charge (called hallide ions), etc.
Example 1
Write electron configurations for the following ions:
a) Calcium ion
b) Fluoride ion
Lesson 2
Ionic Bonds and Ionic Compounds
Ionic Bond
Ionic Compounds
Made of positive and negative ions (metals + non-metals)
Cations and anions are attracted by electrostatic force
Arranged in orderly 3D pattern
o Each + ion is between 2 or more - ions
Electrically neutral
Ionic Compounds
Crystalline solids at room temperature
High melting points
Can conduct an electric current when melted or dissolved in water
o Ions are free to move
Coordination Number
Coordination Number:
The number of ions of opposite charge that surround an ion in a crystal
Example:
o Each Na-ion is surrounded by 6 Cl-ions therefore Nas coordination #
is 6
o Each Cl-ion is surrounded by 6 Na-ions therefore its coordination #
is also 6
Example 2
In TiO2, each Ti-ion is surrounded by 6 O-ions. What is its coordination #?
Each O-ion is surrounded by 3 Ti-ions. What is its coordination #?
Lesson 3
Bonding in Metals
Alloys
Mixtures of 2 or more elements
o At least 1 is a metal!
Properties often superior to
component elements
Alloys
Substitutional alloy:
If atoms of components are similar in size, they replace each other in the
crystal
Interstitial alloy:
If sizes are very different, smaller atoms fit into interstices (spaces)
between larger atoms
Amalgam:
An alloy containing mercury
