Lose the electron, or electrons, in their highest
energy level and become positively charged
ions
METALS
Gain electron, or electrons, from another
atom to become negatively charged ions
PROPERTIES
SOLID- at room temperature amd have a high melting and
boiling point. This is because strong forces of attraction
because of oppositely charged ions.
CONDUCT ELECTRICITY - when molten or dissovled (NOT SOLID). This is because
the ions are free to move and carry an electrical charge. They are usually
SOLUBLE IN WATER. Water has a positive and negative end, so ionic ions can
attract and dissolve.
FOR EXAMPLE
Have giant ionic lattices in which there are strong electrostatic forces in all directions
between oppositely charged ions. These compounds have high melting and boiling points
because of the large amounts of energy needed to break the many strong bonds.
COVALENT BONDING
A covalent bond is a strong bond between two non-metal atoms. It consists of a shared pair of electrons.
When non-metals react together they need to gain electrons to fill their outer shell and become stable.
FOR EXAMPLE: Carbon has 4 electrons on its outer shell. Hydrogen has 1 electron. Hydrogen
shares its electrons and makes Carbon have a full outer shell. Carbon now has 8 electrons on
its outer shell (FULL). This creates Methane.

CONDUCT ELECTRICITY WHEN MOLTEN AND IN
SOLUTION
SODIUM CHLORIDE
SALT - Is made up from sodium and chloride. Sodium becomes a positive
ion because it loses an electron and gives chlorine which becomes a
negative ion. Then the negative and positive ions attract each other.

ISOLATED MOLECULES WITH WEAK
FORCES BETWEEN MOLECULES
LOW MELTING POINTS - GASES &
LIQUIDS ATROOM TEMP
DON'T CONDUCT ELECTRICITY
BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE FREE ELECTRONS TO CARRY THE
ELECTRICITY THROUGH
STRONG BONDS - SHARE ELECTRONS
GIANT COVALENT STRUCTURE
MOST DON'T CONDUCT ELECTRICITY EXPECT

BECAUSE GRAPHITE HAS A FREE ELECTRON TO CARRY
ELECTRICITY THROUGH
HIGH MELTING POINTS - SOLID AT ROOM TEMP

CALCULATIONS
RELATIVE ATOMIC MASS
MASS OF ALL THE ELEMENTS IN THE COMPOUND ADDED TOGETHER
PERCENTAGE OF AN ELEMENT IN A COMPOUND
MASS OF ELEMENT / MR
MOLES = MASS / MR
GRAMS
YIELD
PY % = ACTUAL YIELD (G) / PREDICTED
YIELD (G) X 100
WILL ALWAYS BE LESS THAN 100% BECAUSE PRODUCT WILL BE LOST IN
