Basic Concepts in BondingIonic Bonding• In an ionic compound, bonding typically occurs
between a metal and a non-metal or a metal and a polyatomic ion.
• Ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds formed from the electrostatic attractions between charged particles. – Cations – positively charged ion– Anions – negatively charged ion
• Ionic compounds consist of large numbers of ions held together in a lattice structure.
• As a result, they do not exist as single molecules. Instead, a formula unit represents the simplest ratio of atoms in an ionic compound.
Basic Concepts in BondingCovalent Bonding• Atoms share electrons in covalent bonds, forming
a molecular compound.• Covalent bonding occurs between two non-
metals or between a non-metal and a metalloid.• The simplest unit of a molecular compound is a
molecule.
Chemical Formulas– Subscripts in a formula indicate the number of each
atom that is present (no subscript = only 1 atom). • i.e. C6H12O6 has 6 C atoms, 12 H atoms, and 6 O atoms.
– Subscripts outside of parentheses affect all atoms inside the parentheses. • i.e. (NH4)2CO3 has 2 N atoms, 8 H atoms, 1 C atom, and 3 O
atoms.
– How many oxygen atoms in each of the following?• CaSO4 four
• Al(OH)3 three
• Mg(C2H3O2)2 four
Valence Electrons• Valence electrons – the outermost electrons in an
atom that are involved in forming bonds. • The Octet Rule – atoms tend to form chemical
bonds in order to reach a total of 8 valence electrons.
• Using the octet rule, it is possible to predict the type of ion that an element is likely to form in a compound (see next slide).
Remember: elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. Atoms tend to form bonds to reach eight valence electrons in their outer energy level.
Writing Formulas for Ionic CompoundsEX: What is the formula of calcium nitride?
1. Find the charge of each ion in the compound
calcium Ca 2+ nitrogen N 3-
2. Check to see if the + and – charges are equal.
3. If the charges are not equal, the charge on one ion will become the subscript on the other.
“crossover method” Ca3N2
If necessary, simplify to the molecular formula.
• Naming Ionic Compounds– The name of the metal is always written first,
followed by the name of the non-metal with the ending changed to “-ide”.
Atom Atom Formula Compound Name
Calcium Oxygen CaO calcium oxide
Sodium Sulfur Na2S sodium sulfide
Potassium Fluorine KF potassium fluoride
Beryllium Chlorine BeCl2 beryllium chloride
Aluminum Oxygen Al2O3 aluminum oxide
• Using the octet rule in this way is helpful, however there are many metals which can have a variety of different oxidation states.
• The metals listed in the table below have only one oxidation state.
Group 1A elements +1 ionGroup 2A elements +2 ion
Aluminum +3 ionZinc +2 ion
Cadmium +2 ionSilver +1 ion
• For all other metals, the stock naming system with Roman Numerals is used. For example: – Fe2+ can bond with Cl- to form FeCl2
– Fe3+ can bond with Cl- to form FeCl3
–We cannot refer to both compounds as “iron chloride”, so the stock naming system must be used.
– FeCl2 is called “iron (II) chloride”.
– FeCl3 is called “iron (III) chloride”.
–The roman numeral given in parentheses indicates the oxidation state (charge) that iron forms in each compound.
• Polyatomic Ions – Consist of multiple atoms covalently bonded
together that have gained or lost electrons.

Binary Molecular Compounds– Two elements can often form
covalent bonds in different ratios, so prefixes are used when naming them.
– i.e. nitrogen and oxygen can form a variety of compounds:
NO = Nitrogen Monoxide
NO2 = Nitrogen Dioxide
N2O = Dinitrogen Monoxide
N2O3 = Dinitrogen Trioxide
N2O5 = Dinitrogen Pentoxide
