  1. Forming Chemical Bonds

  2. Compounds • Remember compounds are two or more different elements that combine chemically • Can be broken down by chemical means • Have properties different from those of its component element • Thousands of compounds exist

  3. Chemical Bonds • A chemical bond is a force that holds two atoms together • Chemical bonds usually only involve valence electrons

  4. transfer electrons Share electrons

  5. Valence Electrons • Valence electrons are electrons in the highest occupied s and p energy level. • The number of valence electrons largely determines the chemical properties of an element. • To find the number of valence electrons in a representative (group A) element, simply look at its group number.

  6. Lewis dot diagram • Diagrams that show valence electrons as dots

  7. Why do elements react? • Noble Gases typically do not react and are chemically stable because they have eight valence electrons called an octet • Elements tend to react in order to acquire a full octet or “eight is great” (gain stability) • Octet rule –when forming compounds, atoms tend to achieve the stable electron configuration of a noble gas

  8. Formation of Positive Ions-Cations • A cation is an atom or group of atoms with a positive charge because of a loss of valence electrons. Ca “+” ion • Metals only form cations • Reactivity of metals is based on the ease in which they lose a valence electron to achieve a stable octet. • Brainiac Alkali Metals Video

  9. Electron Configuration of Positive Ions-Cations • All of the above metal ions have electron configurations of the noble gas neon, Ne. 8 is great!

  10. Cation Charges • Group 1A lose 1 electron, making a 1+ ion • Group 2A loses 2 electrons, making a 2+ ion • Group 3A loses 3 electrons, making a 3+ ion

  11. Formation of Negative Ions-Anions • An anion is a negative atom or group of atoms that gain electrons • Nonmetals tend to gain electrons e g at ive

  12. Electron Configuration of Negative Ions-”Anions” • Cl ion and S ion have the noble gas configuration of argon. 8 is great!

  13. Anion Charges • 5A tend to gain 3 electrons, making a 3- ion • 6A tend to gain 2 electrons, making a 2- ion • 7A tend to gain 1 electron, making a 1- ion • The ion produced when atoms of halogens (group 7A) gain electrons are called halide ions
