  2. Helium, neon and argon are atoms which do not react with other atoms. We call them the Inert Gases (or Noble Gases) because of this. Each of these gases has a full outer electron shell (orbit). 10p10n 18p22n 2p2n 20 Ne 4 He 10 2 40 Ar 18 2,8 2,8,8

  3. Sodium 23 Na 11 e.c. 2,8,1 11p 12n 11 protons 12 neutrons 11 electrons

  4. Chlorine 35 Cl 17 e.c. 2,8,7 17 protons 17p 18n 18 Neutrons 17 electrons

  5. + The Sodium atom has 1 Electron in it’s outer shell. Na e.c. 2,8,1 Atom The Sodium loses 1 electron to leave a complete outer shell. It is now a Sodium ion with a charge of 1 + (Na +) e.c. (2,8)+ Ion

  6. - The Chlorine atom has 7 electrons in it’s outer shell. Cl e.c. 2,8,7 Atom (Cl - ) The Chlorine gains 1 electron to gain a complete outer shell. It is now a Chlorine ion with a charge of 1 - e.c. (2,8,8)- Ion

  7. The Ionic Bond Chlorine atom Cl Sodium atom Na + - Sodium ion (Na +) Chlorine ion (Cl -) The sodium atom loses one electron to attain a complete outer shell and become a positive ion (Na +). The Chlorine atom gains one electron to attain a complete outer shell and become a negative ion (Cl –).Strong electrostatic forces attract the sodium and chlorine ions.

  8. Ionic Compounds • Held together by strong electrostatic forces • Opposite charges attract • High melting points and boiling points • Regular structures – giant ionic lattices • When melted or dissolved ionic compounds conduct electricity
