PAIRING ELECTRONS CATION ANION

ELECTROVALENT ATTRACTS BONDS ION

 What is It

Ionic Bonding

Ionic bond, also

called electrovalent bond, is a type of
linkage formed from the electrostatic
attraction between oppositely
charged ions in a chemical compound.
Such a bond forms when the valence
(outermost) electrons of one atom are
transferred permanently to another
atom. The atom that loses
the electrons becomes a positively charged ion (cation), while the one that
gains them becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). A brief treatment of
ionic bonds follows.
Ionic bonding results in compounds known as ionic, or electrovalent,
compounds, which are best exemplified by the compounds formed between
non- metals and the alkali and alkaline-earth metals.
An ionic bond is formed through the transfer of one or more valence
electrons, typically from a metal to a non-metal, which produces a cation
and an anion that are bound together by an attractive electrostatic force. On
a macroscopic scale, ionic compounds, such as sodium chloride (NaCl), form
a crystalline lattice and are solids at normal temperatures and pressures.
The charge on the cations and anions is determined by the number of
electrons required to achieve stable noble gas electronic configurations. The
ionic composition is then defined by the requirement that the resulting
compound be electrically neutral overall.
For example, to combine magnesium (Mg) and bromine (Br) to get an
ionic compound, we first note the electronic configurations of these atoms
(valence level in indicated in italics):
 Mg: 1s22s22p63s2
 Br: 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p5

In order to achieve noble gas configurations, the magnesium atom

needs to lose its two valence electrons, while the bromine atom, which has 7
valence electrons, requires one additional electron to fill its outer shell.
Therefore, for the resulting compound to be neutral, two bromine anions
must combine with one magnesium cation to form magnesium bromide
(MgBr2). In addition, though any ratio of 2 bromine atoms to 1 magnesium
atom will satisfy the two requirements above, the formula for ionic
compounds is typically presented as the empirical formulae, or the simplest
whole-number ratio of atoms with positive integers.
Note that the cation always precedes the anion both in written form
and in formulas. In the written form, while the cation name is generally the
same as the element, the suffix of single-atom anions is changed to –ide, as
in the case of sodium chloride. If the anion is a polyatomic ion, its suffix can
vary, but is typically either –ate or –ite, as in the cases of sodium phosphate
and calcium nitrite, depending on the identity of the ion.
Another example:
 Lithium Fluoride: Li+ and F– combine to form LiF

The two ions, Li+ and F-, now attract each other to form Li+F- or LiF.
 calcium sulphide, CaS
 https://

www.aplustopper.com/

 sodium fluoride
The sodium atom loses its single valence electron to the fluorine atom
which has just enough space to accept it. The ions produced are
oppositely charged and are attracted to one another due to
electrostatic forces.

source: https:courses.lumelearning.com
An electron is transferred from Na to F. The resulting Na + and F- ions
are electrically attracted to each other.
 sodium chloride
 https://chemdictionary.org/ionic-bond/

Sodium losses an electron to get positive charge and chlorine accepts

that electron to achieve a negative charge. An electrostatic force holds
these to atoms to together in a crystallographic lattice. Thus sodium
chloride is formed.
