IONIC BONDING

Introduction to Ions and Ionic Bonding
• Ionic Bonding:
• Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between
atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely
charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a
positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons
to become a negatively charged anion.
• Ions:
• An ion is a positively or negatively charged atom (or group of atoms). An
ion is formed by the loss or gain of electrons by an atom, so it contains an
unequal number of electrons and protons. Example: Sodium ion Na+,
magnesium ion Mg2+, chloride ion Cl–, and oxide ion O2–. There are two
types of ions : cations.

• Coavelent Bonding
Definition: A Example: Many compounds have covalent bonding, such as
covalent bond is polymers. Nylon rope is an example of a material that is made
formed when up of polymers. Polymer structures typically are long chains of
the valence covalently bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms in various
electrons from arrangements.

Metallic Bonding
Metallic bonds are formed when the charge is spread over a larger
distance as compared to the size of single atoms in solids. Mostly, in
the periodic table, left elements form metallic bonds, for example, zinc
and copper. Because metals are solid, their atoms are tightly packed in
a regular arrangement.
