We are starting a new unit Read the following slides and make a set of notes. Title today’s notes: Lesson 1 Valance Electrons
Chemical Bonds & Reactions - + + -
Chemical Bond A force of attraction that holds two atoms together Has a significant effect on chemical and physical properties of compounds involves the valence electrons Valence Electrons – the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom This Lithium Atom has one valence electron
Counting Valence Electrons Carbon 4 valence electrons Beryllium 2 valence electrons Oxygen 6 valence electrons
Determining the Number of Valence Electrons by Using the Periodic Table *Atoms of elements have the same number of valence electrons as their group number number in the periodic table. Group 1 elements (the alkali metals) have 1 valance electron and group 8 elements (noble gases) have 8 valance electrons
How Many Valence Electrons? Hydrogen Lead Xenon Sulfur Rubidium 1 Valence Electron 4 Valence Electrons 8 Valence Electrons 6 Valence Electrons 1 Valence Electron
