Bonds cut-and-paste activity 2-3L
Use a white or light colored letter size paper. Fold it twice to get 4 equal areas. Top two areas: Draw atom models for Na, and F Bottom two areas: Draw atom models for F, and F Bond CutAndPaste.ppt

Adding electrons Make electrons by punching red paper. Each red dot represents an electron Paste electrons in the atoms, following the electron config (1s2, 2s2, .. etc.) Intentionally, do not paste any electrons that need to be “lost” Intentionally, leave a blank space where you are going to gain electrons.
