Chapter 6 discusses ionic bonds and compounds, explaining that atoms form bonds to achieve noble gas electron configurations, which lowers the system's energy. It outlines three types of chemical bonds: ionic, covalent, and metallic, with a focus on ionic bonds involving electron transfer between metals and non-metals. The chapter also highlights properties of ionic solids, including their crystalline structure, high melting and boiling points, and brittleness.

CHAPTER 6
Ionic Bonds and
Compounds Why Form Bonds? • Atoms form bonds by gaining, losing, or sharing enough electrons to achieve the electron configuration of the Noble Gases • Bond — result of the attraction between 2 or more atoms or ions, the link between atoms • Bonding occurs because it lowers the energy of the system. Forms of Chemical Bonds • There are 3 forms of connecting or bonding atoms: • Ionic — complete transfer of 1 or more electrons from one atom to another Usually between a metal and non-metal • Covalent — valence electrons shared between atoms Usually between two or more non-metals • Metallic –electrons are shared as a pool Usually between metal and metal The three models of chemical bonding. Ionic vs. Covalent Compounds Ionic Ionic Bonds Bonds Essentially the complete electron transfer from an element of low ionization energy (metal) to an element of high electron affinity (nonmetal)

Therefore, ionic compounds exist primarily
between metals at left of periodic table and nonmetals at right. Lattice Energy at 25°C in kJ/mol
Properties of Ionic Solids • Ionic Solids are crystalline solids • Due to the strong attraction between anion and cation High melting point High boiling point Brittleness Brittleness of Ionic Solids Electrical conductance and ion mobility
