One of the important information that the Periodic Table of elements tells us is the
elements of chemical reactivity. This periodic property tells how a certain element behaves
when it is alone or in contact with other elements or substances. Credit was given to John
Dalton, who is in his atomic theory, stated that atoms of different elements combine to form
compounds.
This module will help you understand how ionic bond is formed from a net transfer of
an electron from one atom that lost an electron or electrons, to the atom that accepts the
electron/s
A positively charged ion is commonly known as cation and negatively charged ion is
commonly known as anion

Lesson
1 Ionic Bond
You will also learn how to determine whether a transfer of electron will occur by
calculating the electronegativity difference of the two combining atoms.
What’s New
We usually encountered thousands of compounds in our day - to - day activities.
Others look differently and others look the same. But do not be fooled by their physical
appearance. If you consider chemical and other physical characteristics, they are different
substances. Consider sugar and salt as our example. If you throw or accidentally dropped
few grains of sugar into a flame or hot surfaces, it just melts with a distinct odour, turned
brown and eventually into a black substance.
http://finedininglovers.cdn.crosscast-system.com/ImageAlbum/26161/original_Making-caramel.jpg
On the other hand, if this happened to a few grains of salt, the salt produced
somewhat a cracking sound and you could even see it jumping on the hot surface or above
the flame and give a distinct odor and color.

https://media.buzzle.com/media/images-en/photos/education/
chemistry/chemical-compounds/1200-17034274-sodium-chloride.jpg
This could be best explained by looking at how the particles of these substances are
linked together. The nature of how the component elements are bonded together will give
support to the observation mentioned previously. These characteristics will be discussed
separately.
What Is It
Let us consider again a very familiar substance, salt. Salt is made up of elements
sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). Look at the periodic table below.
Sodium is a reactive metal found at the left most part of the periodic table and
chlorine, a reactive non-metal found at the right part of the periodic table. Do you know to
what family do the most reactive metals and the most reactive nonmetals belong? Yes,
sodium falls under family 1 or IA in the old classification and chlorine in family 17 or VIIA in
the old classification. When these two reactive atoms combined, salt will be formed, and it is
an example of an ionic compound. But how are these ionic substances were formed?
Metals contain loosely held electrons that can be easily dislodged, which means
these electrons are easily removed from metals, like sodium atom.
- electron
Na Na+
So how do these loosely held electrons function in the bonding formation? Where will
these electrons go after being kicked off from a metal?
its shell.
So what is the purpose of gaining and losing of electron/s? How is this process
gaining and losing electron affect the chemical property of an atom?
Some elements are not chemically active under ordinary conditions, these are the
noble gases.
Those elements that will lose electrons require a certain amount of energy to dislod?
The electron/s, this is known as ionization energy. On the other hand, those
elements capable of accepting the electron/s also require a certain amount of energy for
them to accommodate the said electrons in their shell, this is known as electron affinity.
Before we will discuss the formation of the ionic bond, let’s consider first the
information given on the table. This will give us some precautionary measures especially in
illustrating the formation of an ionic bond.
Family or Group IA (1) IIA (2) IIIA (3) IVA (4) VA (15) VIA (16) VIIIA (17)
Covalency number 1 2 3 4 3 2 1
Oxidation number 1+ 2+ 3+ 4+ to 4 - 3- 2- 1-
Covalency number refers to how many bonds of an atom can have when it forms a
compound, while an oxidation number refers to the charge of an atom when it loses or
gains electron/s and become an ion.Now, look at your periodic table. What are the elements
in family 1 or IA? These are Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr. What are their covalency number and
charge? From the table you have their, covalency number of 1 which means, they can only
have 1 bond, and an oxidation number of 1+. How can we account for the charge, 1+? This
indicates that they can give up only one electron.
How about the elements in family 4? They have a covalency number of 4, that
means, they can form 4 bonds only, a good example is C atom, which will be discussed
separately, But, what is that 4- to 4+? What is the meaning of this value range? These
values will tell us that C can have a charge of 4 - to 4+, depending on the type of
compounds or ions it will form.
Elements in family 17 or VIIA can carry a charge of 1-. What does it mean? This
means that the elements of this family can accept 1 electron. An example of these elements
is a chlorine atom.
Another important table is the electronegativity table. The values in this table will give
us an idea of how to determine the type of bond will be formed by the combing atom, would
it be ionic or covalent. Covalent bonding will be discussed in the next module.
Electronegativity Table
The last table is the Lewis Electron Dot Structure (LEDS) of the different elements.
The table gives us the element’s symbols surrounded by dots representing the
valence electrons or the outermost electrons, which are responsible for the combining
capacity of the elements. The dots also tell us to what family each element belongs to. So, it
is expected that the family number is equal to the valence electrons of the element. When
the atom gained or lost electron/s, they tend to have the configuration of the elements in the
noble gas, known as OCTET (except for the element He, which has DUET).

Exercises 1:
A. Complete the table below based on what was given, the first table will serve as your
example. Use the periodic table in the previous page as your guide.
1) Li 17 or VIIA 1 1-
2) Ca
3) Br
4) N
5) Fr
A.) Tell how many electrons are involved when each given atom form a bond, then
specify whether the electron/s is/are can gain or lost write your answer on the
space provided. Follow the guide.
1) K 1 electron lost
2) P
3) F
4) Al
5) Ba
So, ready for the ionic bonding formation? Let’s start. Consider again salt. The
combination of sodium (Na) atom, from Family 1 and chlorine atom (Cl) from family 17
The electronic configuration of sodium is 1s2 2s2 2p63s1, while that of chlorine atom is
1s2 2s 2p6 3s23p5. Na is a metal, a very reactive metal in family one, and it is capable of
2
losing an electron. How many electrons? 1 electron. It will become an ion with a charge of
1+. Chlorine on the other hand is a very reactive nonmetallic element, a gaseous element,
and is capable of accepting or gaining an electron? How many? 1. Making an ion with a 1-
charge. From the definition of an ionic bond, these two charge particles will be attracting
each other (called electrostatic attraction) to form a compound sodium chloride. The best
way to understand this is to have an illustration.First, using the electronic configuration;
second, using the orbital notation, and thirdly, using the Lewis Electron Dot Structure (LEDS)
a) Electronic configuration:
- 1 electron
Na
11 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 Na + 1s2 2s2 2p6
11 (3s is gone)
+ 1 electron
Cl
17 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 Cl -
17 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 (3p
already has 6 electrons)
Combining the two: Na + +Cl- NaCl
+
orcriss - crossing the charges: Na Cl Na1Cl1 or NaCl.
Note that the charges become subscript and eventually removed because these numbers
are 1 and at the same time, the subscripts are the same.
b.)Orbital Notation
Both sodium ion and chlorine ion took the noble gas configuration. Sodium ion has
the same electronic configuration with Ne and chlorine ion or chloride has the same
electronic configuration with Ar (Na+ is isoelectronic with Ne and Cl - is isoelectronic with Ar)
Here is another example,consider the combination: Magnesium (12Mg) and Oxygen (16O).
a) Electronic configuration:
- 2 electrons
Mg
12 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 12 Mg2+ 1s2 2s2 2p6
+ 2 electrons
O 16 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4 O2-
16 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2
6 2+ 2-
3p Combining the two: Mg + O MgO
Again, the charges become subscripts and removed because they are the same.
b) Orbital Notation
In this example, both Mg and Oxygen took the configuration of the noble gas Neon.
Mg , O2-, and the Noble gas Neon is isoelectronic with each other.

Now let us consider the degree of how the electron is transferred by getting the
electronegativity difference. We will use the electronegativity table given. If the difference is
greater than 1.9, there is a complete transfer of electron (or electrons) and the bond that will
be formed is ionic. If the difference is less than 1.9, there will be no transfer of electron, only
shared by the combining elements.
Consider NaCl:
= 2.1
Since the difference is greater than 1.9, therefore there will be a complete transfer of
electron; hence there will be a formation of an ionic bond.
Al 1.5 difference
= 1.3
Since the electronegativity difference is less than 1.9, then the bond formed could not
be classified as ionic. The value tells us that the energy is not enough to achieve the
complete transfer of electron fromAl to Bromine. (This is justifiable the fact that Al is not as
reactive as Li or sodium. It is under family 13 or IIIA family). So, the bond formed between
them is definitely covalent, and this will be discussed in the next module
Complete the table below by supplying the necessary information to make it complete and
correct. Use the electronegativity table as your guide. The first number serves as your guide.
2) Si and Cl
3) Na and Br
4) K and F
5) N and P
Summary
Atoms combine to have stability. This could be achieved by either losing or gaining an
electron. By losing or gaining electron or electrons, the atom takes the electronic
configuration of a noble gas, in which the outermost configurations or the outermost s and p
configurationsare being filled up, having had a total of 8 electrons.
In forming an ionic bond, there is a total or net transfer of electron or electrons from a
very reactive metal to a very reactive nonmetal. But sometimes, even though the bonding
formation involves metal and nonmetal, we still have to consider the electronegativity
difference between the two combining atom. If the electronegativity difference is less than
1.9, an ionic bond can never be formed because the net transfer of electrons cannot be
achieved. The energy is not enough to dislodge an electron or electrons. But if the difference
is greater than 1.9, then there is a net transfer of electron because the energy is enough for
the net transfer of electrons.
Glossary
Chemical bonding is the process of linking or joining together of atoms to gain stability
and to form a compound or molecule.
A chemical bond is a force of attraction that holds atoms together in a compound or a
molecule.
Anion is an atom that gains an electron or electrons and carries a negative charge that
corresponds to the number of electron orelectrons it gained.
Cation is an atom that loses an electron or electrons and carries a positive charge that
corresponds to the number of electron or electrons it lost.
Lewis Electron Dot Structure (LEDS) is a convention illustrating an atom’s symbol
surrounded by dots which represent the outermost electron/s or valence electron/s. It
was developed by Gilbert N. Lewis

A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4
II. Identify the following compounds as polar or non-polar.
What’s In
Why do atoms combine with another atom? Atoms bond with other atoms so that
each atom has a stable energy level. Atoms form bonds by losing electrons, by gaining
electrons, to attain the arrangement as that of noble gases, where the s and p orbitals are
filled with 8 electrons except helium (He) where only s orbitals are being filled. All noble
gases or inert gases except helium have 8 valence electrons. Noble gases have complete
outer electron shells, which make them very stable. Other elements also seek stability, which
governs their reactivity and bonding behavior. Halogens are one electron away from filled
energy levels, so they are very unstable and very reactive.
Chlorine, for example, has seven electrons in its outer electron shell. Chlorine
readily bonds with other elements to achieve the electronic configuration of noble
gases in the periodic table.
What’s New
There are two types of covalent bonds. Polar covalent bond if the electronegativity
difference is 0.5 to 1.9. If the electronegativity difference is 0 to 0.4 that is a non-
polar covalent bond
Atoms could also form
1. A single bond is formed when only one pair of the electron is shared between
the two participating atoms. It is represented by one dash (-). Although this form
of covalent bond has a smaller density and is weaker than a double and triple
bond, it is the most stable.
For Example, the HCl molecule has one Hydrogen atom with one valence
electron and one Chlorine atom with seven valence electrons. In this case, a single
bond is formed between hydrogen and chlorine by sharing one electron.
2. A double bond is formed when two pairs of electrons are shared between the
two participating atoms. It is represented by two dashes (=). Double covalent
bonds are much stronger than a single bond, but they are less stable.
For Example, Carbon dioxide CO2 molecule has one carbon atom with four valence
electrons and two oxygen atoms with six valence electrons.
Each oxygen atom shares its two electrons with carbon and therefore there are two
double bonds in CO2.
What Is It
As we know that the group number of the representative elements in the
periodic table represents the valence electron in the outer shell, likewise it is also the
same with the number of dots. The covalency number represents the number of
bonds formed by the atoms. Refer to the previous table.
