Unit 4: Ionic Bonding

Guiding Questions:

  • What is that?
  • How do we figure out what the chemical formula is?
  • What does it mean to be "free of chemicals"?

What you should learn:

Unit outline

  1. Chemical formulas can be predicted from the periodic table and allow chemists to classify and predict properties of compounds
  2. The general trend in the universe to strive for lower energy explains and allows for prediction of chemical properties of elements
  3. Elements combine in whole number ratios and these molar ratios can be used to determine chemical formulas

More Specifically...:

  • Ion Formation
    • Define and give the general trends on the periodic table for
      • a. Ionization energy
      • c. Atomic radius / Ion radius
      • d. Electron affinity
      • e. Reactivity
    • Define shielding effect and use it to explain trends in families
    • Define effective nuclear charge and use it to explain trends in periods
    • Predict location on periodic table given ionization energy data
    • State that the noble gas configuration is the most stable electron configuration
    • Describe energy changes as elements combine to form an ionic compound
    • Predict oxidation states for various elements based on their proximity to a noble gas in the periodic table
    • Write electron configurations and orbital diagrams of ions
  • Bonding Model
    • Use physical and chemical properties to distinguish between ionic and covalent compounds
    • Describe ionic bonding as the transfer of electrons and the formation of a crystal lattice due to electrostatic attraction between ions of opposite charge
    • Predict the formation of cations and anions based on placement on periodic table
    • Relate formation of anion or cation with ionization energy and electron affinity
    • State that bonding occurs to increase stability
    • Contrast metallic and ionic bonding
  • Nomenclature and formulas
    • Learn the names and formulae of common anions and cations, including carbonate, sulfate, nitrate, hydroxide, phosphate, and ammonium
    • Write chemical formulas for ionic compounds given
      • a. Name of compound or
      • b. A pair of ions
    • Identify polyatomic ions
    • Classify compounds as being ionic or covalent.
    • Name ionic compounds using stock system (Roman numerals)
  • Math
    • Calculate molecular mass
    • Use dimension analysis to convert between moles, grams, atoms, ions and molecules
