Question

What would happen if Chromium (II) and Sulfur bonded?

How are Ionic Bonds formed and what is the attractive force within an Ionic Bond?

Answer 1

There are lots of dot and cross diagrams i.e. Lewis diagrams of ionic (electrovalent) bonding in ionic compounds Ionic bonds are formed by one atom transferring electrons to another atom to form ions. Elements consist of neutral atoms or molecules, the electrical neutrality is because the number of positive protons equals the number of surrounding negative electrons in their respective energy levels. Charged particles called IONS are atoms, or groups of atoms, which have lost or gained one or more electrons to have a overall net electrical positive charge or negative charge. In losing or gaining electrons, the atoms try to attain a stable electron arrangement of a noble gas e.g. a full outer shell of electrons. For a given atom, a nearly full shell will try to gain electrons and a nearly empty shell will tend to lose electrons The atom losing electrons forms a positive ion (a cation) and is usually a metal. The atom gaining electrons forms a negative ion (an anion) and is usually a non–metallic element. an IONIC BOND IS THE FORCE OF ATTRACTION BETWEEN ADJACENT IONS OF OPPOSITE CHARGE. When atoms LOSE OR GAIN ELECTRONS, they try to attain the electron structure (electron configuration) of the electronically very stable atoms of the Group 0 Noble Gases eg helium (2), neon (2.8) or argon (2.8.8) etc. quite simply because these are the most stable electron arrangements with a full outer shell of electrons (full highest energy level). Electrostatic attraction This is the force experience by oppositely charged particles. Its magnitude is proportional to the magnitude of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, i.e. it rapidly gets weaker with distance. Ions are charged particles and attract one another to form giant ionic lattices in which the postive ions are surrounded by the negative ions and vice versa. This is known a ionic bonding. REACTION-
