Lesson
1 Ionic Bond
At the end of the module, you will be able to learn how an ionic bond is
formed. Specifically, after going through this module, you will be able to Illustrate
how ionic bond is formed using the following approaches:
a) The electronic configuration,
b) The Orbital notation, and
c) The Lewis electron dot structure
You will also learn how to determine whether a transfer of electron will
occur by calculating the electronegativity difference of the two combining atoms.
What’s New
We usually encounter thousands of compounds in our day - to - day
activities. Many of these substances look different while others look the same.
But do not be fooled by their physical appearance. Using chemical and other
physical characteristics, you will find out they are actually different substances.
Consider sugar and salt as our example. If you throw or accidentally dropped
few grains of sugar into a flame or hot surfaces, it melts with a distinct odor,
turns brown and eventually becomes a black substance.

On the other hand, if this happened to a few grains of salt, the salt
produced somewhat a cracking sound and you could even see it jumping on the
hot surface or above the flame and give a distinct odor and color.

What Is It
Let us consider again a very familiar substance, salt. Salt is made up of elements sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). Look at th
CO_Q2_Science 9_ Module
4
Sodium is a reactive metal found at the left part of the periodic table and
chlorine, a reactive non-metal found at the right part of the periodic table. Do you
know to what family do the most reactive metals and the most reactive nonmetals
belong? Yes, sodium falls under family 1 or IA in the old classification and chlorine
in family 17 or VIIA in the old classification. When these two reactive atoms
combined, salt will be formed, and it is an example of an ionic compound. But how
this ionic substance was formed?
Metals contain loosely held electrons that can be easily dislodged, which
means these electrons are easily removed from metals, like sodium atom.
So, what is the purpose of gaining and losing of an electron? How is this
process of gaining and losing electron affect the chemical property of an atom?
Some elements are not chemically active under ordinary conditions; these
are the noble gases.
Those elements that will lose electrons require a certain amount of energy to
do it. This is known as ionization energy.
On the other hand, those elements capable of accepting electrons also require
certain amount of energy for them to accommodate the said electrons in their shell,
this is known as electron affinity.
Before we will discuss the formation of the ionic bond, let’s consider first the
information given on the table below. This will give us some precautionary measure
in illustrating the formation of an ionic bond.
Covalency number refers to how many bonds an atom can have when it
forms a compound, while oxidation number refers to the charge of an atom when
it loss or gain electrons and become an ion.
CO_Q2_Science 9_ Module
5
Now, look at your periodic table. What are the elements in family 1 or IA?
These are Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr. What are their covalency number and
charge? From the table given, each element has a covalency number of 1 which
means, they can only have 1 bond, and an oxidation number of 1+. How can we
account for the charge, 1+? This indicates that each element can give up only one
electron, and that explains why sodium has a 1+ charge.
Another important table is the electronegativity table. The values in this table
will give us an idea of how to determine the type of bond will be formed by the
combining atoms, would it be ionic or covalent. Covalent bonding will be discussed
in the next lesson.
Electronegativity Table

The last table is the Lewis Electron Dot Structure (LEDS) of the
different elements. The table gives us the elements’ symbols surrounded by dots
representing the valence electrons or the outermost electrons, which are responsible
for the combining capacity of the elements. The dots also tell us to what family each
element belong. So, it is expected that the family number is equal to the valence
electrons of the element. When the atom gained or lost electron/s, they tend to have
the configuration of the elements in the noble gas that has eight (8) electrons,
known as
OCTET (except for the element He, which has 2 electrons or DUET).

So, ready for the ionic bonding formation? Let’s start! Consider again salt.
The combination of sodium (Na) atom, from Family 1 and chlorine atom (Cl) from
family 17.
The electronic configuration of sodium is 1s2 2s2 2p63s1, while that of chlorine
atom is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s23p5. Na is a metal, a very reactive metal in family
one, and it is capable of losing an electron. How many electrons? 1 electron. It will
become an ion with a charge of 1+. Chlorine on the other hand is a very reactive
nonmetallic element, a gaseous element, and is capable of accepting or gaining one
(1) electron. How many? 1 electron, making an ion with a 1- charge. From the
definition of an ionic bond, these two charge particles will be attracting each
other (called electrostatic attraction) to form a compound sodium chloride. The
best way to understand this is to have an illustration.
First, using the electronic configuration; second, using the orbital notation,
and third, using the Lewis Electron Dot Structure (LEDS)
A) Electronic configuration:
Note that the charges become subscript and eventually removed because
these numbers are the same.
CO_Q2_Science 9_ Module

B) Orbital Notation
a) Electronic configuration:
CO_Q2_Science 9_ Module
8
b) Orbital Notation
In this example, both Mg ion and Oxygen ion took the configuration of the
noble gas Neon. Mg2+, O2-, and the Noble gas Neon are isoelectronic.
Now let us consider the degree of how the electron is transferred by getting
the electronegativity difference. We will use the electronegativity table given. If the
difference is greater than 1.9, there is a complete transfer of electron (or electrons)
and the bond that will be formed is ionic. If the difference is less than 1.9, there will
be no transfer of electrons, only shared by the combining elements.
Consider NaCl:
Na 0.9 difference (greater value - lower value)
Cl 3.0 = 3.00 - 0.9 = 2.1
Since the difference is greater than 1.9, therefore there’s a complete transfer
of electrons; hence there will be a formation of an ionic bond.
CO_Q2_Science 9_ Module
9
Since the electronegativity difference is less than 1.9, then the bond formed
could not be classified as ionic. The value tells us that the energy is not enough to
achieve the complete transfer of electrons from Al to Bromine. (This is justifiable
the fact that Al is not as reactive as Li or sodium. It is under family 13 or IIIA
family). So, the bond formed between them is definitely covalent, and this will be
discussed in the next lesson.

Lesson
2 Covalent Bonding
What’s New
At room temperature, sodium chloride (NaCl) is a crystalline solid. It has a
very high melting point while water (H 2O) is a liquid that has a low melting and
boiling points. They differ in the way they form bonds. Sodium chloride is an ionic
compound while water is a covalent compound. Covalent compounds are
combinations of two non-metals. A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of
electrons between two atoms with identical or relatively close electronegativity
values.
There are two types of covalent bonds. Polar covalent bond if the
electronegativity difference is 0.5 to 1.9. If the electronegativity difference is 0 to
0.4 that is a non-polar covalent bond.
Atoms could also form
CO_Q2_Science 9_ Module

1. A single bond is formed when only one pair of the electron is shared
between the two participating atoms. It is represented by one dash (-). Although
this form of covalent bond has a smaller density and is weaker than a double
and triple bond, it is the most stable.
For Example, HCl molecule has one Hydrogen atom with one valence
electron and one Chlorine atom with seven valence electrons. In this case, a
single bond is formed between hydrogen and chlorine by sharing one
electron.
2. A double bond is formed when two pairs of electrons are shared between the
two participating atoms. It is represented by two dashes. Double covalent bonds
are much stronger than a single bond, but they are less stable.
For Example, Carbon dioxide CO2 molecule has one carbon atom with
four valence electrons and two oxygen atoms with six valence electrons.
Each oxygen atom shares its two electrons with carbon and therefore
there are two double bonds in CO2.
3. A triple bond is formed when three pairs of electrons are shared between the
two participating atoms. Triple covalent bonds are represented by three dashes
(≡) and are the least stable types of covalent bonds.

What Is It
As we know that the group number of the representative elements in the
periodic table represents the valence electron in the outer shell, likewise it is also
the same with the number of dots. The covalency number represents the number
of bonds formed by the atoms. Refer to the previous table.
The above illustration shows that the oxygen belongs to group VIA and
has 6 valence electron and 6 electron dots around, the covalency number is 2,
thus oxygen can form double bonds between two oxygen atoms.

What I Can Do
Activity no.3
1. Why do atoms combine? Justify your answer.
Summary
Atoms combine to have stability. This could be achieved by
either losing or gaining an electron.
By losing or gaining electron or electrons, the atom takes the
electronic configuration of a noble gas, in which the outermost
configurations or the outermost s and p configurations are
being filled up, having a total of 8 electrons.
In forming an ionic bond, there is a total or net transfer of
electron or electrons from a very reactive metal to a very
reactive nonmetal.
Lewis symbol is composed of the symbol of the element
and dots which represent the number of valence electrons of
an atom that can easily be determined through the group/
family number in the Periodic Table of Elements.
Covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons that results
in the formation of a covalent compound.
Covalent bonds may be polar and nonpolar.
Diatomic molecules always form nonpolar covalent
compounds such as O2, N2, H2, F2, and Cl2.
