Ionic Compounds

IonsAn ion is an atom or group of atoms that have a net electrical charge. An ion is formed when electrons or protons are gained or lost by an atom.

There are two types of ions: Cations and Anions.

Cations :A positively charged ion is known as cations. A cation is formed by the loss of one or more electrons by an atom.

Anions: A negatively charged ion is known as Anion. An anion is formed by the gain of one or more electrons by an atom.

Ionic Compounds The compounds which are made up of

ions are known as ionic compounds. In an ionic compound, the positively

charged ions and negatively charged ions are held together by the strong electrostatic forces of attraction.

The forces which hold the ions together in an ionic compound are known as ionic bonds and electrovalent bonds.

Since an ionic compound consists of an equal number of positive ions and negative ions, so overall charge of an ionic compound is zero.

Example: Sodium chloride- NaCl Potassium Chloride- KCl

+ =

Na Cl NaCl

During the formation of NaCl, one electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom

In general, a cation will react with an anion to acquire a full valence shellIn general, a cation will react with an anion to acquire a full valence shell

Ionic Bond

The attraction between the cation and the anion is known as an ionic bond. This bond is what holds the ionic compound together.

Formula Unit of Ionic Compounds

The simplest combination of ions that produces an electrically neutral unit, is called a ‘Formula Unit’ of ionic compound.

The ‘formula unit’ of an ionic compound can be thought of as the smallest unit that compound, it is the equivalent of a ‘molecule’ of the compound.

Formula Mass

Formula mass is the sum of the atomic masses of the atoms (or ions) represented by its formula.

In order to calculate the formula mass of an ionic compound, we should know the formula of the ionic compound as well as the atomic masses of all the atoms (or ions) present in the formula.

Example

To calculate the formula mass of potassium carbonate (K2CO3):

Atomic masses: K= 39u ; C= 12u ; 0= 16uFormula mass of K2CO3

=

Mass of 2 K atoms

+Mass of one C atom

+Mass of 3 O atoms

= 2*39 + 12 + 3*16

= 78 + 12 + 48

= 138u

Thus, the formula mass of potassium carbonate is 138u.

Properties of Ionic Compound

At room temperature, most are hard, brittle solids that can be crushed.

Ionic compounds form crystals that have an alternating arrangement of positively charged ions and negatively charged ions, so that when they break their edges are well-defined.

Properties of Ionic Compound

In an ionic crystal, every ion is attracted to every other ion in the crystal. As a result, ionic crystals have very high melting pointsex.) NaCl melts at 800oC

Properties of Ionic Compound

When an ionic compound dissolves in water, the crystal structure breaks down and the ions become free to move.

Properties of Ionic Compound

Solutions of ionic compounds can conduct electricity.
