Cation Size Increases With C.N. 3 Trigonal Planar 4 Tetrahedral 6 Octahedral 8 Cubic 12 Dodecahedral C+4, N+5
Polarization Distorts Electrons Get a load of that tight little cation!
Ionization PotentialEnergy added to an atom to remove an electron • X atom – e- X+cation • Atom gains energy: ΔEnergy > 0 • X atom + e- X-anion • Atom loses energy: ΔEnergy < 0 • Unpaired electrons are most easily removed
Ionization & Electronegativity X-RAYS + ΔE added to lone gaseous atom to remove 1 electron eV or kJoules/mol Atom’s tendancy to attract electrons to itself in bonds (Pauling, qualitative)
“NaCl Structure” Ionic Bond 2.8 Ang u = (A q1 q2 )/r Bond Energy is proportional to product of charges & inverse to bond length

Electron Probability Distribution Covalently Bonded Atoms or Ions Lewis Dot Structure, :N:::N: Stable Inert Gas Configuration H-H, Cl-Cl, H-Cl O=O, (S=S)-2 Hg-Hg, Au-Au σ – bond or sp – bond Like Z or Unlike Z VSEPR Theory
Bonding Types for Different Minerals Al2O3 Groups I & VII or II & VI NaCl Mg2SiO4 (Ca,Na)2-3(Mg,Fe,Al)5(Al,Si)8O22(OH,F)2 ZnS PbS Electron sharing Sb2S3 C Cu NiAs MoS2
Minerals with more than 1 Bond Type • C in (CO3)-2 is covalent bonded to Oxygen • Δe.n. 3.5 – 2.5 = 1.0 • If +4 it would have an Ionic Radius of -0.08Ang • Thus it is held tighter than the ion in [3] Coordination • Ca+2 in Calcite is bonded to O-2 in (CO3)-2 • Δe.n. 3.5 – 1.1 = 2.4 thus ionic • Cleavage must cut pairs of ions, not between • This goes for salts of most oxyanions
