Ionic bonding
• The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions– Metals, hydrogen and ammonium form positive
ions (cations).– Non-metals form negative ions (anions).
Evidence for ionic compounds• High melting points
– strong electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions
• Electrical conductivity only in liquid state or aqueous solution because ions need to move.
• Coloured ions can be observed migrating to electrodes during electrolysis (e.g. CuCr2O7)
– green / blue Cu2+ (aq) moves to cathode
– yellow Cr2O72- (aq) moves to anode
• Electron density maps show low electron density between the oppositely charged ions.

AlO is not the formula of aluminium oxide
• Not Al2+ O2-
• Whilst successive ionisation energies of Al increase, Em3
is not especially large.• Al3+ is very much smaller than Al2+, since its 3rd
principal quantum shell is now empty.
• Consequently, the ions pack more tightly in (Al3+)2(O2-)3.
• Al3+ also carries a greater charge than Al2+,, increasing the
attraction to O2- anions.
• The lattice energy of (Al3+)2(O2-)3 is therefore much greater in magnitude than that of Al2+O2-.
AlO is not the formula of aluminium oxide
• Not Al3+ O3-
• O3- would have a greater radius than O2- since its extra electron occupies a new principal quantum shell, further from the nucleus and more shielded by inner quantum shells.
• In spite of the increased charge of the O3- anion, its large size reduces packing density of the solid.
• The electron affinity required to form O3- from O2- would be large and endothermic.
• Therefore the lattice energy of Al3+O3- does not make up for the endothermic steps in the Born Haber cycle.
Polarisation of the anion
X+ Y-
X+ Y-
Factors leading to anion polarisation
• Cation polarizing power increases with– small radius (increasing charge density)– large positive charge (increasing charge density)
• Anion polarizability increases with– large radius (outer electrons far from nucleus and shielded by
inner shells)• increasing negative charge increases its size
• Increasing anion polarisation means increasing covalent character to the bonding– indicated by large difference between theoretical and
experimental lattice energies
Metallic bonding
• The attraction between 'positive ions' and a sea of delocalised electrons.
• Why does the melting point increase across a period, Na<Mg<Al?
• Electrical and thermal conductivity due to transfer of charge and energy by the movement of delocalised electrons.
The covalent bond
• The attraction between two nuclei and a shared pair of electrons.
• One electron of the shared pair originating from each atom in a 'standard' covalent bond.
• Both electrons of the shared pair originate from the same atom in a dative bond.
• 'Standard' and dative covalent bonds are indistinguishable.
H H
Hydrogen molecule (H2)
H-H
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion• Sigma bond electron pairs and lone pairs all repel each
other around the central atom.
• The electron pairs move into positions of maximum separation.– 2 pairs gives 180: 3 pairs gives 120: 4 pairs gives 109.5, 6
pairs gives 90.
• Lone pairs have a greater repulsion than sigma bond pairs.– Each lone pair reduces the expected bond pair - bond pair
angle by about 2.5.

Dissolving
• Forces are broken between the particles within the solute and within the solvent
• The energy required to break these forces needs to come from new attractive interactions between solvent and solute particles.– If this energy is not supplied, the ‘solute’ does
not dissolve.
Dissolving (2)
• Non-polar molecules attract by London forces alone.
• Ionic solutes have strong electrostatic attractions between the ions.– The energy required to overcome the high lattice
energy can often be supplied through hydration of the ions by the highly polar water molecule
– Water can also hydrogen bond to polar solutes such as sugars and ethanol.
Dissolving (3)
• Water does not dissolve non-polar solutes.– Hydrogen bonds would need to be broken between solvent water
molecules.– This energy is not made up for by London forces between solvent
and solute molecules.
• Non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes.– Little energy is required to break London forces between the solvent
molecules.– This energy is supplied by new London forces between solute and
solvent molecules.
Dissolving (4)
• Metals dissolve other metals
• Ionic solids (such as alumina) dissolve in ionic solvents (such as cryolite, Na3AlF6)
