Ionic Bonding
- Ionic Bond: a positively charged ion is attracted to a negatively
charged ion
- Ionic bonds are commonly formed between the ions of a metallic
element, such as sodium, and a nonmetallic element, such as chlorine
- Ionic Compound: a compound that is composed entirely of ions
- Cations: are positively charged particles in ionic compounds
- Anions: are negatively charged particles in ionic compounds
The Octet Rule
- Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to acquire a full
set of valence electrons
- The octet rule has exceptions, like Hydrogen
Types of Ions
- Monatomic Ions are ions that are formed from one atom
- Polyatomic Ions are ions made from 1 or more atoms
- Monatomic Cations elements that need to lose 2 electrons in order
to reach the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas
- Monatomic Anions need to gain 1 electron in order to reach the
electron configuration of the nearest noble gas
- Polyatomic Ions like to form an ionic bond with an ion of the opposite
charge
