Formation of Bond Electrons are transferred from an atom of low electronegativity to one of high electronegativity Anion (-) and cation (+) formed Opposite charges attract called an electrostatic force
Formula Unit Simplest ratio of atoms in an ionic compound Charges combine to form a net of zero Formulas are not molecules: they do not show exact numbers of atoms just ratios Another term for an ionic compound is salt
Example Show how the bond forms in each pair and tell the formula unit Ca and F K and O Al and O
Ions Arrangement Opposite ions arrange themselves with each positive ion surrounded by negative ions and each negative surrounded by positive ions Where potential energy is lowest This arrangement is called a crystal lattice
Lattice Energy Energy released when one mole of an ionic compound is formed from its ions Values will always be negative, because energy is released The larger the negative value for the lattice energy, the stronger the ionic bond in the crystal is
