4.1 Ionic Bonding

4.1 Ionic Bonding - Chemistry: Atoms First 2e | OpenStaxBinary ionic compounds are composed of just two elements: a metal (which forms the cations) and a nonmetal (which forms the anions). For example, NaCl i...

Ionic Bonding | PBS LearningMediaThis interactive activity from ChemThink discusses ionic bonding—a type of chemical bond formed between two ions with opposite charges. Investigate how the transfer of electrons between atoms creates ions and how the mutual attraction of these charged particles forms ionic bonds. Also learn about trends in the periodic table of elements, and explore how the structure of an ionic compound relates to its formula.

Explain the formation of cations, anions, and ionic compounds

Ion Model (Whiteboard) - JavaLabYou can create ionic compounds by dragging and dropping atoms. Ion fragments that are no longer needed can be returned to their original location.

Predict the charge of common metallic and nonmetallic elements, and write their electron configurations

Derive names for common types of inorganic compounds using a systematic approach

Write Lewis symbols for neutral atoms and ions

Draw Lewis structures depicting the bonding in simple molecules
