NOTES

Valence Electrons

• Electrons in the outermost energy level are known as valence electrons.

• Valence electrons are important because they are the only ones involved in chemical bonding.

Valence Electrons

• Valence electrons can be gained, lost, or shared by atoms during chemical bonding.

• This desire for a certain amount of valence electrons is what causes chemical reactions.

Valence Electrons• How many valence electrons in this atom?

• REMEMBER VALENCE ELECTRONS ARE

ONLY THOSE IN THE OUTER ENERGY

Rows on the Periodic Table

• Rows across the periodic table are known as periods.

• Elements in the same row have the same number of energy levels.

• This outer energy level is often referred to as the valence energy level or the valence shell.

Families on the Periodic Table

• Elements in the same column of the periodic table are known as groups or families.

• Elements in the same family have the same number of valence electrons.

Families & Properties

• Since elements in the same family have the same number of valence electrons, they behave very similarly in a chemical reaction.

• Therefore, atoms in the same family have very similar properties!!!

Electron Dot Diagrams• Since only the valence electrons

are involved in chemical bonding, chemists have a quicker, easier way to represent atoms when showing bonding called an electron dot diagram.

Electron Dot Diagrams• An electron dot diagram is

simply the chemical symbol of an element with 1 dot for every valence electron it has.

• This is also referred to as a Lewis dot structure.

• From other atoms that want to lose them!!!

Ions• When an atom gains or loses

electrons to become stable, it is called an ion.

• An ion is a charged atom.

Positive Ions• Atoms that lose electrons

become positively charged.• These positive ions are called

cations.

Negative Ions• Atoms that gain electrons

become negatively charged.• Negative ions are called anions.

Ionic Bonding• Atoms looking to be stable may

transfer electrons to other atoms.

• Each atom becomes charged, and positive ions are then attracted to negative ions.

Ionic Compounds• The attraction of positive ions to

negative ions is called an ionic bond.

• Atoms that bond this way are called ionic compounds.

Oxidation Numbers

• Turn to page 3 of your packet

Oxidation Number• The oxidation number is

essentially the bonding power of an atom.

• The oxidation number of an atom is the charge that it will tend to acquire when bonding.

Oxidation Number• A positive oxidation number

means that an atom will lose electrons when forming an ionic bond.

• A negative oxidation number means that it will gain electrons.

• Chlorine: - 1• Sodium: +1• Calcium: +2• Sulfur: - 2• Aluminum: +3
