Energetics of ionic bonding
1. 2 Energetics: Recap
We have already seen how to use Hess’s law to construct Hess’s cycles.
In this chapter we will return to Hess’s law and use it to investigate the
enthalpy changes when an ionic compound is formed.
The standard enthalpy of formation ΔHf is the enthalpy change when

one mole of a compound is formed from its constituent elements under
standard conditions, all reactants and products in their standard states.

gaseous ions under standard conditions.
O(g) + e ➞ O—(g) ΔH = –141 kJ mol–1

This refers to single atoms, not to oxygen molecules O2.
Most first electron affinities are exothermic. This is because energy is

released when the electron comes under the attraction of the nucleus.
1. 11 Second Electron Affinity

The second electron affinity is the enthalpy change when one mole of
electrons is added to one mole of gaseous 1− ions to form one mole of
gaseous 2− ions under standard conditions.
O—(g) + e ➞ O2— (g) ΔH = +791 kJmol–1

Subsequent electron affinities are always endothermic since the
repulsion between the negatively charged ion and the incoming electron
outweighs the energy released when the electron comes under the
attraction of the nucleus.
1. 12 Electron Affinities
The overall enthalpy change in forming an oxide ion, O2−, from an oxygen
atom is found by adding together the 1st and 2nd electron affinities.

1. 14 Ionic Bonding & Structure

Compounds of metals with non-metals, such as sodium chloride and
magnesium oxide, are composed of ions. When such compounds form,
the metal atoms lose electrons and form positive ions. At the same time,
the non-metal atoms gain electrons and form negative ions.
For example, when sodium reacts with chlorine, each sodium atom loses
its one outer electron forming a sodium ion, Na+. Chlorine atoms gain
these electrons and form chloride ions, Cl−
1. 15 Ionic crystals
Ionic crystals consist of giant lattices containing billions of positive and
negative ions packed together in a regular pattern. In the lattice, each
Na+ ion is surrounded by Cl− ions, and each Cl− ion is surrounded by Na+
ions. The oppositely charged ions attract each other.
At the same time, the chloride ions repel other chloride ions and sodium
ions repel other sodium ions, but overall there are strong net electrostatic
attractions between ions in all directions throughout the lattice. These
electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions are described
as ionic bonding.

when one electron is added to each
gaseous Cl atom forming chloride ions, Cl−. The energy change for this
process is called the first electron affinity of chlorine.
1. 18 Standard enthalpy change of formation of NaCl

Finally, and equally importantly, the equation “ignores” the fact that
energy is given out when gaseous Na+ and Cl− ions come together
forming a giant ionic lattice of sodium chloride, Na+Cl− (s).
The energy change for this process is called the lattice energy of
sodium chloride.

Bilal Hameed
The first electron affinity of an element is the energy change when each atom in one
mole of gaseous atoms gains one electron to form one mole of gaseous ions with a
single negative charge.
The following two equations define the first and second electron affinities for oxygen:
17
O(g) + e− → O−(g) 1st EA = −141 kJ mol−1
O−(g) + e− → O2−(g) 7 kJ mol−1
2nd EA = +798
The gain of the first electron is exothermic, but adding a second electron to a
negatively charged ion is endothermic.

Lattice enthalpy and Born–Haber cycles

A Born–Haber cycle is usually set out like an enthalpy profile diagram, with
enthalpy changes one after another. All the processes in the cycle can be
measured experimentally except the lattice enthalpy. So, by using Hess’s law it
is possible to calculate the lattice enthalpy.

are at a lower energy level and therefore more stable than their
elements.
If you look at the Born–Haber cycles in Figures 13.8 and 13.9, you
will see that an ionic compound will have an exothermic standard
enthalpy of formation if its negative lattice enthalpy outweighs the
total energy needed to produce gaseous ions from the elements.
Using a Born–Haber cycle with a theoretically calculated value for
the lattice enthalpy, it is possible to estimate the standard enthalpy
change of formation for compounds which do not normally exist. For

1. 90 Solubility
If the magnitude of the energy of hydration of ions is:
• Greater than the lattice energy the compound dissolves exothermically
• much lower than the lattice energy of the ions the compound will not
dissolve
• slightly less than the lattice energy, the little extra energy required for the
breakdown of the lattice is obtained from the thermal energy of the solvent.
Hence the process is endothermic resulting in a drop in temperature
Most salts dissolve endothermically. Hence an increase of temperature favors

the equilibrium point to shift forwards resulting in an increase in the solubility.
