Ionic bonding

• Latent heat is released during phase changes
• Ionic Bonding involves the transfer of electrons between atoms
• Ionic Bonding

  Atoms bond together to form ions that can't be separated easily
• Formation of Ionic Compounds

  1. Cation gives up outer electrons

  2. Anion picks up the electrons

  3. The two oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other
• Ionic compounds are formed when a metal (cation) and a non-metal (anion) bond together
• Dot and Cross Diagrams show how Ionic Compounds are formed
• Dot and Cross Diagrams show the electrons in an Ionic Compound
• Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) form Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
• Potassium (K) and Bromine (Br) form Potassium Bromide (KBr)
• Ionic Bonding involves the transfer of electrons
• The cation gives up its outer electrons
• The anion picks up the electrons, becoming negatively charged
• The oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other, forming an ionic bond
