Ionic Bonding

Ionic Bonding - Transferring Elections

In inoic bonding atoms lose or gain electrons, which forms a charged partical (called an ion) either possitivly or negatively charged.

Atoms what a full outter shell

so if they have 3 or less electrons in there outter shell - the atom gets ride of the electrons on there outter shell

so if they have 5 or more electrons in there outter shell - the atom gains electrons so they have a full outter shell

Structure of an ionically Bonded ions

Atom structure:(http://www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/surfaces/scc/images/scat1_1a.gif)

An atomic structure is a regualr lattic arrangement (structure). Its a soft structure, its soft becuae the rows can slide over the other rows.

Ionic bonded structure:(http://www.bbc.co.uk/staticarchive/79adeab969839ce1f6e868e80d6cccf378fd0820.gif)(http://www.atomsinmotion.com/book/chapter4/rockSalt.png)

An Ionically bonded structure is a giant ionic lattice (regular lattice - structure). Ionically bonded (metle and a non-metal) is stronger and harder than a atom structure, because the rows can't slide over the other rows as theres another ions thats a different size, which stops the rows from slideing over the other rows.

Covalent Bonded

Covalent bondeds accure non-metals and non-metals. The atoms share electrons so they have a full outter shell by shareing.
