Chapter 7: Ionic Compounds and Metals Flashcards
Ionic Bonding
Electrostatic attraction between ions
Covalent Bonding
Sharing of electrons
Metallic Bonding
Metal atoms bonded to several other atoms
Cations
Positively charged ions - formed by electron loss - made from metals - < parent atom
Anions
Negatively charged ions - formed by electron gain - made from nonmetals - > parent atom
Ions
Atoms in which number protons does not equal number electrons
Psuedo-Noble Gas Configuration
Configuration of an ion that has gained or lost electrons to get a full valence shell
Isoelectronic Species
Atoms & ions with same number electrons (always based off a noble gas)
Elements In Compounds Determine Bonding
Covalent - 2 Nonmetals
Ionic - Metal + Nonmetal
Metallic - All Metals
Properties Of Ionic Compounds
- Brittle
- High melting and boiling points
- Solids form a crystalline lattice - orderly arrangement of ions in the solid state
- Non-conductive as solids, conductive when dissolved or melted
- Ionic compounds are electrolytes
Ternary Compounds
Have 3 or more elements in them - polyatomic ion in structure
Polyatomic Ion
Cluster of atoms held together with covalent bonds that has a net charge
“Oxyanions”
Polyatomic ions that contain oxygen
Stock System
Use of Roman Numerals to show charge on transition metal ions
Properties Of Metals That Allows Metallic Bonding
Delocalized valence electrons; Electrons shared frequently among large groups of atoms
“Sea Of Electrons” Model
Model showing group of cations in a “sea of electrons”; explains electrical and thermal conductivity, ductility, and malleability
Alloys
Combination of two or more elements, majority are metals
Substitutional Alloys
Second element takes place of a metal atom
Interstitial Alloys
Second element fills space in lattice of metal atoms
Binary Compounds
Made of cation and anion; combine in ratios that are electrically neutral
Lattice Energy
Energy needed to break ionic bonds; increased lattice energy = increased bond strength = increased effect of properties; increased ionic charge or decreased ionic radius = increased lattice energy; ionic radius more important than charge; increased lattice energy = higher boiling and melting points
Solubility Rules
- Nearly all compounds with nitrate (NO3^-) and acetate (C2H3O2^-) are soluble
- All compounds with chloride (Cl^-), fluoride (F^-), bromide (Br^-), and iodide (I^-) are soluble, except those containing silver (Ag), mercury (Hg), and lead (Pb)
- All compounds with sulfate (SO4^2-) are soluble, except those containing barium (Ba), strontium (Sr), lead (Pb), calcium (Ca), and sliver (Ag)
- Most alkali metal salts (family 1) and ammonium salts (NH4^+) are soluble
- All the common acids (HX) are soluble
- All oxides (O^2-) and hydroxides (OH^-) are insoluble, except those of the alkali metals (family 1) and those containing calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), or radium (Ra)
- All sulfides (S^2-) are insoluble, except those of the alkali metals (family 1), alkaline earth metals (family 2), and ammonium sulfide [(NH4)2S]
- All phosphates (PO4^3-), carbonates (CO3^2-), and oxalates (C2O4^2-) are insoluble, except those of the alkali metals (family 1) and ammonium salts (NH4)
