IONIC BOND
Ionic bond is formed when electron transferred from a valence shell of an atom to the valence shell of another atom. Ionic bond involves electron transfer across two atoms. The atom which donates the electron is called cation which is a positive ion whereas the atom which gains the electron is called anion which is a negative ion.
The opposite charge of cation and anion attract one another due to the electrostatic force which is formed between them. The formation of a ionic bond involves a metal and a non-metal. Thus it forms the ionic bond.
(A) EXAMPLE OF IONIC BOND
(1) Sodium Chloride
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound formed by the reaction between the metal sodium and non-metal chlorine. During the reaction one electron is transferred from each sodium atom to each chlorine atom. Sodium atom with an electron arrangement of 2.8.1 is not stable thus it has to donate one electron to achieve stable octet electron arrangement and forming a positively charged sodium ion whereas chlorine atom has an electron arrangement of 2.8.7 is not stable thus it has to gain an electron to achieve stable octet electron arrangement and forming a negatively charged chlorine ion. Thus sodium ion and chlorine ion are attracted by electrostatic force and form a strong ionic bond to form sodium chloride (NaCl). Na - (e) = Na(+)
Cl + (e) = Cl(-)
Na(+) + Cl(-) = NaCl (2) Magnesium Oxide
Magnesium Oxide is an ionic compound formed by the reaction between the metal magnesium and non-metal oxygen. During the reaction two electron is transferred from each magnesium atom to each oxygen atom. Magnesium atom with an electron arrangement of 2.8.2 is not stable thus it has to donate two electron to achieve

    It came about because Sodium is a positively charged ion, and it has one electron in its outermost shell. Chlorine, and negatively charged ion it has seven electrons in its outermost shell. So then sodium transfers its one electron to the chlorine, because for sodium to have a full shell it would need to have seven more electrons to make a complete shell.…

    * Be able to name the five types of bonds (covalent (2 types), ionic and weak chemical bonds (2 types)). What needs to happen for each of these bonds to be created? For example, for a covalent bond electrons must be shared equally between two elements and these elements will share unpaired valence electrons.…

    IONIC bonds: form betw. two atoms when electrons are transferred from one atom to the other. Occurs when the electronegativities of the two atoms are very different and one atom has a much stronger pull on the electrons than the other atom. One atom gains electrons and has an overall negative charge and the other atom loses electrons and has an overall positive charge – these atoms are ions and the attraction of their opposite charges constitutes the ionic bond. (EX: NaCl)…

    Because the sodium ion is positively charged, it attracts the negatively charged portion of the water molecule (the oxygen atom) and repels the positively charged portion of the water molecule (the hydrogen atoms). Because the chloride ion is negatively charged, it attracts the positively charged portion of the water molecule and repels the negatively charged portion.…

    Typically an ionic bond occurs between one metal and one non-metal ion. One atom borrows one or more electrons from another atom. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs when one atom loses an electron to form a positive ion and the other atom gains an electron to form a negative ion, which then result in attraction.…

    Metallic Bonding

    METALLIC BONDINGThis page introduces the bonding in metals. It explains how the metallic bond arises and why its strength varies from metal to metal.What is a metallic bond?Metallic bonding in sodiumMetals tend to have high melting points and boiling points suggesting strong bonds between the atoms. Even a metal like sodium (melting point 97.8°C) melts at a considerably higher temperature than the element (neon) which precedes it in the Periodic Table.Sodium has the electronic structure 1s22s22p63s1. When sodium atoms come together, the electron in the 3s atomic orbital of one sodium atom shares space with the corresponding electron on a neighbouring atom to form a molecular orbital - in much the same sort of way that a covalent bond is formed.The difference, however, is that each sodium atom is being touched by eight other sodium atoms - and the sharing occurs between the central atom and the 3s orbitals on all of the eight other atoms. And each of these eight is in turn being touched by eight sodium atoms, which in turn are touched by eight atoms - and so on and so on, until you have taken in all the atoms in that lump of sodium.All of the 3s orbitals on all of the atoms overlap to give a vast number of molecular orbitals which extend over the whole piece of metal. There have to be huge numbers of molecular orbitals, of course, because any orbital can only hold two electrons.The electrons can move freely within these molecular orbitals, and so each electron becomes detached from its parent atom. The electrons are said to be delocalised. The metal is held together by the strong forces of attraction between the positive nuclei and the delocalised electrons.This is sometimes described as "an array of positive ions in a sea of electrons".If you are going to use this view, beware! Is a metal made up of atoms or ions? It is made of atoms.Each positive centre in the diagram represents all the rest of the atom apart from the outer electron, but that electron hasn't been…
