Ionic bonding - Coggle Diagram

- - - - An ionic compound whose solution carries an electric current.
        
        The ionic bonds either get rid of electrodes or gain electrodes.
      - Valence Electrons
        
        Electrons that are located in an atom’s outermost orbitals.
        
        Electron Dot Structures
        
        An element’s symbol (representing the nucleus and inner electrons) surrounded by dots that represent the valence electrons.
        
        Using the structures, you can visually see what is needed for ionic bonding (what the atoms need to look like in order to bond).
      - Electronegativity.
        
        The ability of an atom to attract electrons to a chemical bond
        
        Cation Formation
        
        Positively charged atoms that form when an atom loses one or more valence electrons, to obtain noble gas configuration.
        
        Atoms will become cation atoms in order to form ionic bonds with anion atoms.
- - - - Atoms want to get to noble gas status, therefore there is a set number of electrons they want to get rid of.
- - - - The charge of the ion affect lattice energy
        
        The charge an ion gives off affects the amount of lattice energy.
- - - - The crystals are held together by ionic bonds.
    - - A three dimensional geometric arrangement of particles. In a crystal lattice, each positive ion is surrounded by negative ions.
        
        The positive ions are paired with negative ions.
