Recap Atomic Structure• Nucleus contains p+

and n. • The number of p+

defines the element.• Mass of atom = Σ (p+ +

n) • Electrons occupy orbits

of defined energy.• Electron configuration

related to position in Periodic Table

Ions• Neutral atoms always have the

same number of electrons as the number of protons in the nucleus.

• Many atoms may gain or lose electrons to form ions, which have a charge.

• Gain of electrons gives an anion.

e.g. F + e- F-

Ions

• Loss of electrons gives a cation.

e.g. Li Li+ + e-

Ions• More than one electron may be

gained/lost but >3 electrons not common.

Note: charge is always shown at the top right

the sign comes after the number.

Why do ions form?Note on Noble Gases:

• Last column of periodic table.• 8 electrons in outermost shell (2 for

He).• Stable electronic structure. • Do not gain/lose electrons.• Occur as isolated atoms.

Page 6: Recap Atomic Structure

Noble Gases• He: 2 electrons

therefore n = 1 totally full.

• Ne: 10 electrons therefore n = 1 and 2 totally full.

Predicting which ions form?• Atoms gain or lose electrons to

become isoelectronic as the nearest Noble gas.

• Non-metals tend to form anions

• Metals tend to form cations

Ionic Bonding• The electrostatic attraction of cations

and anions results in ionic bonds being formed.

Ionic Bonding

• There must always be metal atom (to lose electrons) and a non-metal atom (to gain them).

• Production of ions always results from complete transfer of electrons between bonding atoms.

Ionic Bonding• Produces a solid - crystal lattice.• Cations and anions are packed so

as to maximise the attractive forces and minimise repulsion.

• Ratio of cations to anions ensures ZERO overall charge on the compound.

• Cation-anion attraction does not depend on direction: non-directional bonding.
