  1. Atoms – Valence Electrons

  2. Orbital Levels - Review • closest to nucleus – max 2 electrons • 2nd shell – max 8 electrons • 3rd shell – max 8 electrons • fill shells closest to nucleus first

  3. Knowing how electrons are arranged in an atom is Important! Electrons control how atoms react with each other! H H O

  4. HAPPY ATOMS Atoms want their outer most shell to be full and will lose or gain extra electrons to achieve that… Electrons on the outer most orbital have a special name: ValenceElectrons

  5. Vocabulary Check: • Valence Electron – located on the outermost orbital (shell) • determine reactivity • same for all members of a group/family • Last digit of group # = # of valencee-

  6. What does that have to do with anything?? Putting it all together
