6.3 Power Point Notes

Fill in the blanks from the power point presented in class.

Slide 2

Earth’s crust is made of _____________________. _________________________ are

made of minerals. Minerals, for the most part are _________________________
compounds. With ionic bonds, atoms are held together with _____________________
bonds. Ionic bonds are made with alternating _________________________ and
_________________________ ions.

Slide 3

Ionic substances are not made of ________________________ that can be pulled out and
exist on their own. There are no ________________________ in an ionic substance.
Water is a ________________________ (held together with covalent bonds) substance.
It contains individual particles (molecules) that are capable of stable
________________________. If we could magnify a drop of water we would see that it
is made of individual “pieces” of water called ________________________. We could,
theoretically, reach in, grab, and pull out a single piece of ________________________
(a molecule).

Make a drawing of a water molecule in the space below.

Slide 4

However, with ________________________ substances, this is not the case. We can’t

reach in and pull out a single ________________________of the compound that exists
independently. ________________________ Do not exist in an ionic substance,but
individual ions do exist. Salt, sodium chloride, is an example of an ionic compound. It is
made of individual ________________________ ions. Individual Cl- or Na+ ions could
be removed one at time, but NOT a ________________________ (molecule) of NaCl.
There is no such thing as a molecule of NaCl.
Slide 5
The simplest arrangement of ions that, when repeated trillions of times, would make a
crystal of an ionic substance is called a _______________________. From the unit cell
we can obtain the simplest collection of ions that would represent this compound’s
formula. We call this simplest ratio of ions an _______________________. What is the
empirical formula of Sodium chloride? _______________________ Chemical formulas
for ionic compounds are always _______________________
Draw and label the unit cell of sodium chloride.

Slide 6.
______________________________________________are made from elements that are
electron givers (metals) and electron takers (nonmetals).

Use several sentences to explain how an ionic bond forms.

Make a drawing of how an ionic bond forms.

Slide 7

Draw the ionic electron dot formula of sodium bromide.

What is the empirical formula of sodium bromide?

Slide 8

Draw the ionic electron dot formula of magnesium fluoride.

What is the empirical formula of magnesium fluoride?

Slide 9
Draw the ionic electron dot formula and empirical formula for aluminum iodide.

Slide 10
A ________________________________ is a molecule (group of atoms)
with a charge.

Draw the electron dot formula for ammonium. (NH41+)

Draw the electron dot formula for sulfate. (SO42-).

Slide 11
List Nine Common Polyatomic Ions. Know their Names, forumulas and charges. This is
a list you MEMORIZE. (and NEVER forget it).

Name of Ion Formula Charge
