Atoms, Bonding, and the Periodic Table

Warm Up November 14, 2014 – copy the objective How do you determine an element’s valence electrons? Fill out the chart and paste it in your notebook.

Valence electrons – electrons that are in the outershell and have the highest energy

Electron dot diagram – element symbol surrounded by the valence electrons

Atoms are more stable with 8 valence electrons – a full outershell – like the noble gases ArgonKrypton

Atoms form bonds to get a full outer shell and be more stable

A chemical bond is the force of attraction that holds atoms together when they gain, lose or share electrons.

When an element loses or gains a valence electron it is called an ion. Negative ion – form when an element gains electrons Positive ion – form when an element loses electrons

Octet Rule Atoms gain or lose electrons to have 8 in the outer shell Elements with more than 4 valence electrons – gain electrons Elements with less than 4 valence electrons – lose electrons to get to a full outer shell Fluorine IonFluorine Atom

What are the ions that form from Na (sodium), Mg (magnesium), S(sulfur), and F(Fluorine)? NaMgSF Write your answers in your notebook and check them with your table partner.

Metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions forming positive ions. LiBe NaMg KCa RbSr CsBa FrRa Li + Be 2+ Na + Mg 2+ K + Ca 2+ Rb + Mg 2+ Cs + Sr 2+ What is the ion that forms when lithium loses an electron? What ion does beryllium form? What ion does sodium form? What ion does magnesium form?

Nonmetals tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions forming negative ions. OF SCl SeBr TeI What is the ion that forms when oxygen gains two electrons? What ion does Fluorine form? What ion does Sulfur form? What ion does Chlorine form?

What are 2 things that atoms can do when forming chemical bonds?

When sodium and chlorine bond, a valence electron is transferred to fill the outer shell of chlorine. Sodium goes down to a full outer shell as well.

Sodium loses an electron and becomes the sodium ion, Na +1. Chlorine gains an electron and becomes the chlorine ion, Cl -1.

Ionic bond – the attraction between two oppositely charged ions Metals bond with nonmetals Ex. NaCl LiBr

Ionic compound – made up of positive and negative ions that balance to make a neutral compound Positive ionNegative ion Ionic Compounds Li 1+ F 1- Mg 2+ O 2- Na 1+ Cl 1- Ca 2+ Br 1- K 1+ O 2-

Covalent bond- bond that involves the sharing of electrons Forms between two or more nonmetals 1 molecule of CH 4 – methane gas

Covalent Bonds Sharing Electrons By sharing 2 electrons in a covalent bond, each fluorine atom gains a stable set of 8 valence electrons. Which are the shared electrons that form a covalent bond between the 2 fluorine atoms?

Why do elements form covalent bonds? To become more stable by having a full outer shell of electrons Which elements form covalent bonds? Nonmetals bonding with nonmetals

An atom that gains one or more electrons will have a __________ charge. An atom that loses one or more electrons will have a __________ charge. An atom that gains or loses one or more electrons is called an _________. Word bank: negativeionpositive

Atoms will transfer one or more ________________ to another to form a bond. Each atom is left with a ________________ outer shell. An ionic bond forms between a ___________ ion with a positive charge and a ________________ ion with a negative charge. Word bank: full nonmetal electrons metal

MgCl 2 Chemical Formulas- group of symbols that shows the ratio of elements in a compound subscript Chemical symbols Subscripts – tells ratio of elements in a compound

H2OH2O Chemical Formulas 1 oxygen atom 2 hydrogen atoms Subscript always goes with the chemical symbol before it. If there is no subscript, there is always 1 atom of that element.

Properties of Ionic Compounds Form hard, brittle crystals Strong bond High melting points Conduct electric current when dissolved in water or melted

Properties of Covalent Compounds Form weaker bonds Low melting points Do not conduct electric current when dissolved in water
