Electrons dictate the chemistry of an atom
Review Electrons dictate the chemistry of an atom Electrons fill orbitals in order or increasing energy 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p … We can represent the electron configuration of an element by showing the orbital designation or orbital configuration Shell Number of electron in subshell 1s1 subshell S 1s2 2s22p6 3s23p4 [Ne]3s23p4

The Octet Rule – Atoms prefer to have 8 electrons in their outer shell
Octet Rule and Ions The Octet Rule – Atoms prefer to have 8 electrons in their outer shell (or dublet for H and He). Valence electrons = outer shell Ions tend to form such that they satisfy the Octet Rule An ion is an atom that has gained or lost electrons This results in a net charge on the atom If an ion has a net (+) charge cation If an ion has a net (-) charge anion

Noble gas configuration ALWAYS satisfy the octet rule
Forming Ions Noble gas configuration ALWAYS satisfy the octet rule Na (Z = 11) [Ne] 3s1 Mg (Z = 12) [Ne] 3s2 Cl (Z = 17) [Ne] 3s2 3p5 S (Z = 17) [Ne] 3s2 3p4

Lewis Representation American chemist G.N. Lewis had a profound impact on our understanding of chemical bonding. One of his many contributions was a simple way to represent chemical bonds. We call these Lewis Symbols. Valence Electrons are represented by dots. A single dot represents an electron A pair of dots represents two paired electrons sharing an orbital H He N O O2- K Mg2+ I- 1s1 1s2 2s22p3 2s22p4 2s22p6 3s1 [Ne] 5s25p6

Electrons pair and are shared between both atoms
Covalent Bonds Covalent bonds electrons shared between two atoms. This involves an overlap of atomic orbitals Let’s consider H2 - two hydrogen atoms share electrons. Octet Rule NOT satisfied! Electrons pair and are shared between both atoms Commonly represented as: H H Solid line represents covalent bond
