Central goal:
To explain and
predict the physical
properties of ionic
compounds based on
the charge and size
of the ions present in
the system.
The Challenge
Modeling
How do I predict it?
Chemistry XXI
Metals can chemically react with nonmetals to form
new chemical compounds. In most cases, these
compounds are not comprised of molecules, but of
ions arranged in solid crystalline networks.
How can we make predictions
about the composition of these
ionic compounds?
How can we predict what
properties they may have?
Important Differences
Nonmetals
Chemistry XXI
Metals
In general, atoms of nonmetals have higher
ionizations potentials and electronegativities (c)
than those of metals. Thus, nonmetals have a
higher affinity for electrons than metals.
From Polar to Ionic
Chemistry XXI
The larger the difference in electronegativity (Dc)
between bonding atoms the more polar the bond.
For Dc > ~1.7, the bonding electrons spend most of
their time close to the nonmetal atom.
Ionic Compounds
Chemistry XXI
The properties of the compounds that results from the
reaction of metals with nonmetals are better described
assuming that independent ions are formed.
Metal  + ion (cation)
Nonmetal  - ion (anion)
Ionic Networks
+ and - ions interact
with all other ions in
the system, and they do
not form molecules.
Chemistry XXI
They arrange into a
crystalline network.
NaCl
For these compounds, the
chemical formula only
indicates the ratio of + to

have different crystal structures.

Let’s Think
Chemistry XXI
Ionic compounds do not conduct
electricity as solids, but they do it
when melted. Solid ionic
compounds shatter when struck.
How would you
explain these
properties based
on their
submicroscopic
structure?
A Powerful Model
Chemistry XXI
In ionic compounds, electrons are “localized” on
ions and cannot flow. In molten state, the ions can
move freely and establish an electric current.
Charge and Size
In general, many properties of ionic compounds are
determined by the charge and the size of the ions in
the network.

Thus, it is of central importance to be able to
predict the charge and size of the ions formed
whenever a metal reacts with a nonmetal.
Let’s Think
The charge that atoms of metals and nonmetals
acquire when they react with each other is
determined by their electron configurations.

Chemistry XXI
The prediction of ion charges for transition metals
is more difficult, because electrons in the
d-subshell may also be transferred to the nonmetal
atoms. So, they may form a variety of ions.

Naming Examples: Cu(I), Cu(II), Nickel(I)
Charge Neutrality
No matter what ions are formed, the ionic network
that is formed has no net charge. These implies that
cations (+) and anions (-) combine in ratios that
ensure charge neutrality.
Consider this reaction:
Na(s) + Cl2(g) 

Thus, the ionic product is Al2O3 Aluminum oxide
Let’s Think
Predict the ratios in which the ions resulting from
these reactions will combine:

Based on Coulomb’s Law, one may expect these

 the smaller the size of the ions (smaller r);

Solubility
Chemistry XXI
Some ionic compounds are very soluble in water,
while others are almost completely insoluble.
Ionic compounds that
are insoluble in water
tend to be comprised
of ions with strong
interactions among
each other
(large charge,
small size).

Solutions of soluble

This implies that

across the system.
Solutions of slightly

compounds barely
conduct electricity.
Only a small fraction of
the ions is in solution.

Use this data to derive a simple rule to make
predictions about the solubility of ionic
compounds based on ion charges.
Justify your ideas using Coulomb’s Law.
Solubility Trends
The following rule is useful to make predictions
about the solubility of ionic compounds in water:
Given the ions Am+ Bn-,
Chemistry XXI
if m x n < 4  soluble, otherwise  insoluble
Given Coulomb’s law, we may also
expect that the larger the ions, the more
soluble the compound will be (weaker
interactions among ions in the lattice).

Although this rule works well in many cases, there
are always exceptions.
For example, AgCl, PbCl2, MgF2, CaF2, are insoluble.

but molecular (several atoms covalently bonded).

variety of applications. Most ceramics are ionic
solids that are very hard and highly resistant to
corrosion and wear.

are ionic compounds
of Al, Si, and O, that
have a porous

widely used as filters
and catalysts.

Summary
Chemistry XXI
The charge that atoms acquire when they react
with each other is determined by their electron
configurations. The ions that are formed tend to
be those with a full shell electron configuration.
Many properties of ionic
compounds are determined
by the charge and the size of
the ions in the network. These
forces are stronger the larger
the charge of the ions and the
smaller their size.
