Charge of electrons: -1
Neutral atom: has equal numbers of protons and electrons.
Stable atom: has a full outer shell of electrons.
Ion: an atom that has gained or lost electrons.
Metals are located on the left side of the periodic table.
Lithium: 2,1
Sodium: 2,8,1
Potassium: 2,8,8,1
An ion is a charged atom or a group of atoms:
Negative Ion: gains electrons (typically formed by non-metals).
Positive Ion: loses electrons (typically formed by metals).
Atoms form ions to achieve a stable electronic arrangement.
Potassium ion: K+
Fluoride ion: F-
Calcium ion: Ca2+
Ionic bonding occurs in compounds formed from metals combined with non-metals.
Example: Sodium (Na) loses 1 electron, Fluorine (F) gains 1 electron.
Sodium ion: Na+, Fluoride ion: F-.
Resulting compound: Sodium Fluoride (NaF).
Ionic bonding: strong electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
Sodium loses an electron to form Na+; Fluorine gains an electron to form F-.
Electrostatic forces hold oppositely charged ions together in compounds like Sodium Fluoride.
Magnesium (Mg) loses 2 electrons, Oxygen (O) gains 2 electrons.
Resulting ions: Magnesium ion Mg2+, Oxide ion O2-.
Compound formed: Magnesium Oxide (MgO).
Sodium loses 1 electron and forms Na+
Oxygen gains 2 electrons and forms O2-.
Result: Sodium Oxide (Na2O).
Magnesium transfers 1 electron to each Fluorine atom.
Results in 1 Magnesium ion (Mg2+) and 2 Fluoride ions (F-).
Empirical formula: Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2).
