  1. what is an ionic bond?

an ionic bond forms when electrons are transferred from a metal atom to a nonmetal atom, creating oppositely charged ions that attract each other.

in your own words:
explain how ionic bonds form:

  1. writing ionic compound formulas

follow these steps:

  1. write the symbol and charge for each ion.
  2. balance the charges so the overall compound is neutral.
  3. write the formula (cation first, anion second).

examples:

  • ( \text{na}^+ ) and ( \text{cl}^- \to \text{nacl} )
  • ( \text{mg}^{2+} ) and ( \text{cl}^- \to \text{mgcl}_2 )
  • ( \text{al}^{3+} ) and ( \text{o}^{2-} \to \text{al}_2\text{o}_3 )

practice:

Explanation:

Step1: Balance charges for \(Ca^{2+}\) and \(F^{-}\)

Calcium has a charge of \(+ 2\), fluorine has a charge of \(-1\). To balance, we need \(2\) \(F^{-}\) ions.

Step2: Write formula for \(Ca^{2+}\) and \(F^{-}\)

Cation (\(Ca^{2+}\)) first, anion (\(F^{-}\)) second. So formula is \(CaF_{2}\), name is calcium fluoride.

Step3: Balance charges for \(K^{+}\) and \(O^{2 -}\)

Potassium has a charge of \(+1\), oxygen has a charge of \(-2\). To balance, we need \(2\) \(K^{+}\) ions.

Step4: Write formula for \(K^{+}\) and \(O^{2 -}\)

Cation (\(K^{+}\)) first, anion (\(O^{2 -}\)) second. So formula is \(K_{2}O\), name is potassium oxide.

Step5: Balance charges for \(Na^{+}\) and \(S^{2 -}\)

Sodium has a charge of \(+1\), sulfur has a charge of \(-2\). To balance, we need \(2\) \(Na^{+}\) ions.

Step6: Write formula for \(Na^{+}\) and \(S^{2 -}\)

Cation (\(Na^{+}\)) first, anion (\(S^{2 -}\)) second. So formula is \(Na_{2}S\), name is sodium sulfide.

Step7: Balance charges for \(Mg^{2+}\) and \(N^{3 -}\)

Magnesium has a charge of \(+2\), nitrogen has a charge of \(-3\). LCM of \(2\) and \(3\) is \(6\). So we need \(3\) \(Mg^{2+}\) (\(3\times2 = 6\)) and \(2\) \(N^{3 -}\) (\(2\times3=6\))

Step8: Write formula for \(Mg^{2+}\) and \(N^{3 -}\)

Cation (\(Mg^{2+}\)) first, anion (\(N^{3 -}\)) second. So formula is \(Mg_{3}N_{2}\), name is magnesium nitride.
