Flashcards for Ionic & Metallic Bonding

What particle is transferred in ionic bonding? Electron

How do you identify an ionic formula? Metal + Nonmetal

How do you identify a covalent formula? All Nonmetals

What do metals do? Metals lose electrons & form positive ions.

What do nonmetals do? Nonmetals gain electrons & form negative ions.

What are the properties of metals? 1)Luster 2)Good conductors of heat & electricity 3)Malleable & ductile 4)Low ionization energy & low electronegativity 5)High mp, high bp & low vapor pressure

Why do atoms form bonds? To get the same electron configuration as the nearest noble gas.

What is a chemical bond? Force of attraction that holds 2 atoms together.

What are the properties of ionic compounds? 1)Hard, brittle 2)High melting point, high boiling point 3)Low vapor pressure 4)Poor conductors of heat 5)Solids do not conduct electricity at all 6)Melts & solutions do conduct a current 7)Ions in solution react quickly

What is the structure of ionic compounds? Crystal lattice: lattice points are positive & negative ions.

Empirical Formula Subscripts in chemical formula have smallest whole number ratio

Empirical Formula Ionic compounds only have empirical formulas.

Crystal lattice Regular, repeating pattern in 3 dimensions.

Compounds are electrically … Neutral.

Molecular Formula Gives exact composition of molecule.

What is the structure of metals. Crystal lattice: all lattice points are positive ions.

Delocalized electrons Valence electrons in metals are free to roam throughout the metal.

Sea of mobile electrons Phrase used to describe valence electrons in metallic bonding.

Subscripts in chemical formulas Microscopic scale – give atomic ratios Macroscopic scale – give mole ratios

Lewis Dot Structures for Ionic Compounds Have square brackets and charges. Charges add up to 0. Positive ion has no dots. Negative ion has 8 dots.

Group 1 metals form … +1 ions

Group 2 metals form … +2 ions
