Ionic Substances
- How are ions formed?
- Ions are different species (i.e., they have different characteristics) than the atoms
from which they are derived.
- The term species in chemistry refers to any atom, ion, molecule, or group of
these that can exist as an independent entity and has characteristic behaviour.
- The lithium ion, Li+, is a cation. It has lost one electron.
- The fluorine ion, F-, is an anion. It has gained one extra electron.
Formulas of ionic compounds
- The formula of an ionic compound refers to the relative number of cations and
anions in the lattice.
- The relative number of cations and anions must be such that the compound has
zero net electrical charge.
Molar Masses of Ionic Compounds
- The molar mass of an ionic compound is the sum of the molar masses of the ions
in its formula, taking into account the number of each ion.
Metals and Metallic Substances
- Positively charged ions are arranged in lattices.
- In order to form ions, each atom sets free one or more electrons.
- These electrons can move throughout the piece of metal. The electrons are
delocalized.
- Positive ions are arranged within a continuous “sea” of electrons.
- The force which keeps atoms together is the electrical attraction between the
positive ions and the delocalized electrons. This is called metallic bonding.
Molecular Substances MODEL:
- A molecular substance is composed of a number of particles called molecules.
- Each molecule is composed of a specific number of atoms, of various elements
connected in a particular way.
- All molecules of any molecular substance are identical and different from
molecules of any other substance
- The force that holds atoms together within a molecule is called a covalent bond.
- Covalent bonds within a molecule are intramolecular forces.

Document Summary

Ions are different species (i. e. , they have different characteristics) than the atoms from which they are derived. The term species in chemistry refers to any atom, ion, molecule, or group of these that can exist as an independent entity and has characteristic behaviour. The lithium ion, li+, is a cation. The fluorine ion, f-, is an anion. The formula of an ionic compound refers to the relative number of cations and anions in the lattice. The relative number of cations and anions must be such that the compound has zero net electrical charge. The molar mass of an ionic compound is the sum of the molar masses of the ions in its formula, taking into account the number of each ion. Positively charged ions are arranged in lattices. These electrons can move throughout the piece of metal. In order to form ions, each atom sets free one or more electrons. delocalized.
