What is an Ion?
An ion is an atom or group of
atoms that has an electrical
charge, either positive and
negative.
What properties do ionic
compounds typically exhibit in
the solid state?
In the solid state, ionic compounds
are typically hard and brittle due to
the strong forces holding the ions in
place.
 What is ionic bonding?
• Last lesson we looked at how ions are
formed.
• Atoms react together to form ions.
• Ions are only formed in the bonding
between METALS and NON-
METALS.
• They do not like to share electrons,
instead they lose or gain electrons to
become full, happy shells.
• This type of bonding is called IONIC
BONDING
 In simple terms,
Ionic bonding is the bonding between
a metal and a non-metal which
involves the transfer of electrons
 What is Ionic Bonding?
These compounds are usually formed by a
reaction between a metal and a non-metal.
The metal and non-metal atoms have
incomplete outer electron shells and so
are unstable.
The positive and negative ions are strongly
attracted to each other. This electrostatic
attraction is called ionic bonding.

Answer the following questions T or F:

1. An ion is formed when an atom gains or losses T

electrons.

2. A positive metal ion is formed when electrons are lost

from the metal atom. T

3. Ionic bonding is between a positive metal ion called a

cation and a negative non-metal ion called an anion. It is
the electrostatic attraction between these two ions. T
