Ionic Bondings

IONIC BONDING

-a chemical bonding between a metal and non-metal. 

through this process, a transfer of electrons takes place between the elements. 

                             the metal loses the electron and the non-metal gains the electron.

-Properties of Ionic Bonds:

• high boiling and melting points
• hard and brittle
• conduct electricity in water
• dissolves easily in water

-There are two different types of ionic bonding; those with transition metals and  those without.

Naming the bonds are simple:

  

Ionic Bonds Without Transition Metals

• first, write the name of the metal first and then the non-metal.
• then replace the last syllable of the non-metal with -ide

Ionic Bonds With Transition Metals

• ionic bonding with transition metals (or lead and tin)are named the same way, BUT the charge of the transition metal is place in parenthesis and written in Roman numerals
