Ionic Bond
Ionic Bond
The non metal atom has small atomic radius and high electron
affinity so it easily gain the lost electrons from the metal atom to
have the same stable structure of the nearest noble gas and change
into -ve ion called anion.
The ionic bond: the electrostatic attraction force formed between the
cation and the anion.
Na+ + Cl- NaCl
General properties of ionic compounds:
1. The cations and the anions attract together in
Formed between two atoms (non metals) have the same or close electronegativity

*Some compounds are called non polar as organic compound C= 2.5 & H = 2.1
Metallic bond
Because the strength of metallic bond increase with increase the number
of the valence electrons and sodium has only one electron in the valence
shell 1S2 2S2 2P6 3S1 while aluminum has three electrons 1S2 2S2 2P6
3S2 3P1 so the overlapping between the valence electrons in aluminum
is stronger than in sodium.
Allotropy
It is the presence of the element in more than one form of different physical
properties but similar in chemical one.
Due to the presence of the element in more than crystalline form, differ in
number and arrangement of their atoms.
The element Allotropic forms
Phosphorus White (waxy) – red – violet
Arsenic Black – grey – yellow (waxy yellow)
antimony Yellow - black
Nitrogen and bismuth has no allotrophic forms since the allotrophy appears
only in solid non metallic and metalloid elements.
