IONIC BOND

• TRANSFERRING OF ELECTRONS
 OBJECTIVES:

Learners must be able to:

• Illustrate how an ionic bond formed
• Explain how covalent bonding takes place
• Give the importance of transferring sharing electrons
GUIDED QUESTION:

•Which type of element tends to loose electron/s?

Gain electron/s?
ANSWER:
Metals tend to lose electrons and non-metals tend to gain electrons, so in
reactions involving these two groups, there is electron transfer from
the metal to the non-metal.

How many elements
present in a salt?
2 elements

What are they? Sodium and chlorine

WE ARE GOING TO ILLUSTRATE HOW IONIC
BOND IS FORM WITHIN THESE TWO ELEMENTS.
WHAT IS IONIC BOND?

ANSWER:
It a bond which involves complete transfer of electrons.
How sodium chloride or salt able to attained stability or
able to transfer electron completely?
GUIDE QUESTIONS:

• What kind of element forms cation after ionic bonding?

• What kind of element forms anion after ionic bonding?
• Why do ions form after ionic bonding?
• Did the atoms attain stability after ionic bonding? Explain you answer.
• How can you tell that ionic bonding will take place between metals and
non-metals?
GUIDED QUESTIONS:
• What kind of element forms cation
after ionic bonding?
• What kind of element forms anion after
ionic bonding?
• Why do ions form after ionic bonding?
• Did the atoms attain stability after
ionic bonding? Explain you answer.
• How can you tell that ionic bonding
will take place between metals and
non-metals?
• Answer: Metals form cations because they
completely transfer or give away electrons.
• Answer: Non-metals form anions because they
attract electrons toward themselves.
• Answer: Ions form after ionic bonding because this
type of bond involves complete transfer of electrons.
• Answer: Yes, after ionic bonding the participating
atoms attain the stable electronic configuration of
the nearest noble gas.
• Answer: Ionic bonding will take place between
metal and non-metal with electronegativity
difference of greater than 1.9.toward themselves.
•
•
What should be the difference in the electronegativity of two
elements for it to become ionic?

Answer:
For it to become ionic it should have the difference greater than 1.9.
WILL ALL COMBINATION OF METALS AND NON
METALS FORM IONIC BOND?
• Not all metal and non- metal combinations will result in ionic bond .
• Only those with electronegativity difference of more than 1.9 will result to an ionic bond.
• There are compounds where the combining atoms do not transfer electrons or accept electrons.
Instead, the combining atoms are held together by shared electrons. At this point you can now
introduce the concept of bonding by sharing of electrons which is called a covalent bond.
Example:
The best example of a metal-non-metal combination which did not result to ionic bond is
AlCl3 because the electronegativity difference is only 1.5. Thus, instead of ionic bond
the chemical combination formed a covalent bond.
Relate the saying, its better to give than to
receive to the topic.

What is the importance of sharing electorns?

Answer: Sharing electrons gives both atoms
a full valence shell. All atoms strive to achieve
a full valence shell, just like the noble gases.
