Patterns in the Periodic Table Looking at the completed periodic table on the last screen, what patterns exist among the groups and the periods? The number of electrons in the outermost shell increases as you move to your right to the next group, and the number of shells around each nucleus increases by one as you move from one element to the next down each periods. The number of electrons in the outermost shell decreases as you move to your left to the next group, and the number of shells around each nucleus increases by one as you move to the right to the next group. The number of electrons in the outermost shell decreases as you move to your right to the next group, and the number of shells around each nucleus increases by one as you move from one element to the next down each periods.

You are correct!!! See explanation Go back

From viewing the last two slides, what would you say a cation is? How does a cation differ from a neutral atom? Cation Formation Go back to cation demonstration Continue

Anion Formation F Fluoride Atom- neutral Click the space bar to see the Fluoride atom gain an electron, and to find out what it becomes! 9 protons and 9 electrons = +9 + (-9) = 09 protons and 10 electrons = +9 + (-10) = -1 charge Fluoride Ion- Anion F Fluorine Atom- Neutral Compare the two fluorine atom models. What differences exist? What does this tell you about the fluoride ion formation? Continue Click the space bar to answer a question

Anion Formation S Sulfur Atom - Neutral 16 protons and 16 electrons = (-16) = 0 Sulfide Ion - Anion 16 protons and 18 electrons = (-18) = -2 charge Click the space bar to see the Sulfur atom gain electrons, and to find out what it becomes! Compare the two sulfur atom models. What does this tell you about sulfur ion formation? - 2 Sulfide Atom - Neutral S Continue Click the space bar to answer a question

From viewing the last two slides, what would you say an anion is? How does an anion differ from a neutral atom? Anion Formation Go back to cation demonstration Continue

Why does this happen???? Cation The metallic elements tend to form positive ions (cations) by losing one or more electrons. They do this because they want to have a full valence (outer) shell like the group 8 noble gases. Click here to an animation Click here to an animation Anion The non-metallic elements tend to form negative ions (anions) by gaining one or more electrons. They do this because they also want a full valence (outer) shell like the group 8 noble gases. Click here to an animation Continue

Neon Sodium – Pay attention to the structure at the start to be able to see the difference at the end. (Just click on the movie screen for the morph to begin. If you want to see it again, just click on the movie screen!) Cation Formation Go back

Anion Formation Argon Chlorine - Pay attention to the structure at the start to be able to see the difference at the end. (Just click on the movie screen for the morph to begin. If you want to see it again, just click on the movie screen!) Go back

S Mg When atoms collide, valence electrons on each atom interact. A chemical bond forms between atoms if their valence electrons make a new arrangement that has less energy than their previous arrangement. (click the space bar to see the electrons move) For many atoms, the lowest energy arrangement of valence electrons is the same as the arrangement for the noble gas to which they are closes in the periodic table. In this example, the ions have equal, but opposite charges so they form a bond called an ionic bond Play again Continue
