By the end of this unit, students will be able to:
Valence electrons are the electrons in the highest
occupied energy level
Valence electrons determine the chemical and
physical properties of an element
Metals tend to lose valence electrons to become
stable cations
Nonmetals tend to gain valence electrons to
become stable anions
When the difference in electronegativity between
two atoms is greater than 1.7, the more
electronegative atom removes an outer electron
from the less electronegative atom
Oppositely charged ions are held together by
electrostatic attraction (ionic bond)
Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred
from a metal to a nonmetal
Ionic compounds are crystalline solids at room
temperature, they have high melting points, and
they conduct electricity in their molten states or
when in aqueous solution
Ionic compounds are overall electrically neutral
and crystalline solids form so that the overall
compound has no net charge
Because of their d and f block orbitals, most
transition metals can form more than one stable
cation

 Determine the number of valence electrons given the
group numbers
 Determine the most likely charge of a cation or anion
based on the number of electrons gained or lost
 Describe the formation of an ionic bond
 Decide what elements will form ionic bonds given
electro negativities
 Write formulas for ionic compounds using least
common multiple so that overall charge is zero
 Name binary ionic compounds (ending in –ide)
 Write names and formulas for ionic compounds
containing a transition metal (using the stock naming
system)
 Write names and formulas for ternary ionic compounds
that contain a polyatomic ion (and transition metal)
PSI Chemistry
Ionic Bonding and Compounds

A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms covalently
bonded that have a charge but act like a single
ion
Assessment
(What is acceptable evidence to show desired results (rubrics, exam, etc.)? Attach Copy
During the Smart Notebook lesson designed to introduce concepts, students will be continually questioned on these
concepts using a combination of class work/homework questions and the SMART Response system. Classwork and
Homework questions will be discussed as a class and misconceptions will be addressed by the teacher prior to the
formal evaluations listed below.
Quiz 1: Ions Quiz
Lab 1: Names and Formulas of Ionic Compounds Lab
Lab 2: Virtual Lab: Ionic Bonding and Ionic Formulas
Unit Test: Ionic Bonding and Ionic Compounds Quest
(What is the sequence of activities, learning experiences, etc, that will lead to desired results (the plan)?
