Review: Classifying Chemical Bonds Covalent bonds are those

between non-metals and non-metals

Ex: C (non-metal) and H (non-metal) CH4

Ionic bonds are those between metals and non-metals

Ex: K (metal) and O (non-metal) K2O

Metallic bonds are those between metals and metals

Understanding how ions react to other elements will help in naming

compounds or coming up with formulas for the compounds.

Opposite charges attract! Same charges

repel!

Ionic Bonding- Page 7 Ionic Bonding- Bond between metal and non-metal

Transfer of electrons, which results in positive or negative charged ions that attract to each other (opposites attract)

The greater the charge, the greater the attraction

Oxidation number- how many electrons an atom has gained, lost, or shared to become stable; the charge (+ or -)Cation- When an atom loses an e-, it loses a negative

charge & becomes a positive ion.Anion- When an atom gains an e- it gains a negative

charge & becomes a negative ion.

Writing Ionic Names to Formulas

When writing an ionic compound’s formula, you need to find the following:The atomic symbols for each elementOxidation Numbers - *Remember: these tell

you how many of each atom you need!○ *NOTE: If the Oxidation Numbers are the

same, you DO NOT need to write them anywhere in the formula!

Naming Complicated Ionic Compounds:

POLYATOMIC IONS “more than one atom” ions

Common Polyatomic Ions- Page 9 Ions made up of two or more atoms Made of two non-metals

Covalently bonded together When they bond with another ion, an ionic bond

forms Think of them as a group of atoms that react as ONE!

Remember: CO and Co are different! The second letter of an atomic symbol is always lowercase

Writing Names to Formulas It is easier to write

the formula of an ionic compound from its name than the reverse.

But, you must know the oxidation number of the ions!Refer to the table of common polyatomic ions

What do you notice about the numbers in the formula for NiBr3?

When criss-crossed, they are equal! The top numbers for each atom are called its

Oxidation NumberThe oxidation number tells you how many electrons

an atom has gained, lost, or shared to become stable The sum of the product of the “oxidation

numbers” and the product of the “# of atoms” in the compound must equal zero

Ni Br+3 -1

(3 × -1) + (1 × 3) = 0

The oxidation numbers may be may be criss- crossed to create subscripts in the formula, and used to help write the chemical formulas

This is called the “Criss-Cross Method”

For example: when creating “Aluminum oxide”Aluminum has an oxidation number of +3 Oxygen has an oxidation number of -2 When you cross them… …you find the formula for Aluminum Oxide is Al2O3

Al O Al O+3 -2

The criss-cross method tells how many of each atom are needed to satisfy each atom’s valence shells

Ex: Aluminum + Oxygen

Al O2 3Oops! Now “O” has extras…Need another

“Al”!

Hmm… We still have more

electrons…we must need

another Oxygen!

Still more electrons? We

must need another Oxygen!

FINALLY!!! We’re done.
