    Positively charged ions are called positive ions or cations, and negatively charged ions are called negative ions or anions
    .


    For simple ions, people often use ion charge, ion electron configuration, and ion radius to describe


    1.
    Ionic charge

    Ionic charge is the number of electrons lost or gained by atoms in the process of forming ionic compounds
    .


    For example, in NaCl, the charge of Na + is +1 and the charge of Cl - is -1; in MgO, the charge of Mg 2+ is +2, and the charge of O 2- is -2


    2.
    Ion electron configuration

    Simple ions generally have a stable 8 electronic configuration, such as F.
    - , CI - , O 2 - , S 2 - like structure the outermost layer of a rare gas have 8 electrons
    .


    For positive ions, there are multiple electronic configurations as follows


    2 Electronic configuration: ns 2 , there are 2 electrons in the outermost layer, such as Li + , Be 2+ and so on
    .

    8 electron configuration: ns 2 np 6 , there are 8 electrons in the outermost layer, such as Na + , K + , Mg 2+ and so on
    .

    (9-17) Electronic configuration: ns 2 mp 6 nd 1-9 , with 9-17 electrons in the outermost layer, such as Fe 2+ , Mn 2+ , Cu 2+ and so on
    .

    18 electronic configuration: NS 2 NP .
    6
    Nd 10 , outermost layer 18 electrons, such as a Cu + , of Ag + , a Zn 2+ , Hg 2+ and the like
    .

    (18+2) electronic configuration: (n-1)s 2 (n-1)p 6 (n-1)d 10 ns 2 , there are 18 electrons in the second outer layer and 2 electrons in the outermost layer, such as Tl + , Pb 2+ , Bi 3+ and so on
    .

    3.
    Ionic radius

    If the ions as spheres, positive and negative ions in the crystal nucleus tangential spacing d at a positive ions and negative ions radius radii r + and r- sum (FIG.
    6-1), i.
    e.
    , = R & lt d + + R & lt -
    .



    Figure 6-1 The relationship between nuclear distance and ion radius

    The nucleus distance d of the ionic crystal can be easily measured by X-ray diffraction method
    .


    If the radius of one ion is known, the d value can be used to find the radius of another ion


    In 1926, German VM Goldchmidt determined from optical data that the F - and O 2- radii were 133pm and 132pm, respectively
    .


    Based on this, the radii of more than 80 kinds of ions are calculated using the measured internuclear distance, which is called the Goldschmidt radius


    In 1927, Pauling fully considered the effects of nuclear charge and shielding constant and calculated a set of ion radius
    .


    Pauling determined the O 2- radius as 140pm and the F - radius as 136pm


    (1) Elements of the same main group with the same charge increase successively with the number of electron layers, and the ionic radius also increases successively
    .

    (2) In the same periodic element, the higher the charge number of positive ions, the smaller the radius; the higher the charge number of negative ions, the larger the radius
    .

    Na + > of Mg 2 + > of Al 3+               P 3- > S 2- > a C1 -

    (3) For the same ion, the radius increases as the coordination number increases
    .


    For example, Co 2+ radius, four coordination, r=56pm; six coordination, r=65pm; eight coordination, r=90pm
    .

    (4) Ions of the same element and different valence states have a small radius with a higher charge
