What do atoms form ions? Mr. Heffner 10/28/09

Why do atoms form ions?   Want to be stable (like noble gases)

  Octet rule: 8 valence electrons

  Form ionic bonds to get 8   metals lose electrons cations (+)   nonmetals gain electrons anions (–)

Cation Anion

What ions do atoms form?   A three-step process for predicting ions:

  Step #1: metal or nonmetal?   Step #2: how far from the noble gases?

  Step #3: write out the symbol and charge

Example: In an ionic bond, what ion would Cl form?

  Step #1: metal or nonmetal?

What ions do atoms form?

Metals

Example: In an ionic bond, what ion would Cl form?

  Step #1: metal or nonmetal?   nonmetal = anion (–)   gain electron

What ions do atoms form?

Example: In an ionic bond, what ion would Cl form?

  Step 2: how far away from the noble gases?

What ions do atoms form?

only 1 space away

Example: In an ionic bond, what ion would Cl form?

  Step #3: write out the symbol and charge   Step #1: anion (–)   Step #2: 1 space away

What ions do atoms form?

Cl 1– Cl –or Chlorine gains an electron to become anion with a 1- charge

Example: In an ionic bond, what ion would O form?

  Step #1: metal or nonmetal?

What ions do atoms form?

Metals

Example: In an ionic bond, what ion would O form?

  Step #1: metal or nonmetal?   nonmetal = anion (–)   gain electron

Example: In an ionic bond, what ion would O form?

  Step 2: how far away from the noble gases?

What ions do atoms form?

2 spaces away

Example: In an ionic bond, what ion would O form?

  Step #3: write out the symbol and charge   Step #1: anion (–)   Step #2: 2 spaces away

What ions do atoms form?

O 2–

Oxygen gains two electrons to become anion with a 2- charge

Example: In an ionic bond, what ion would Na form?

  Step #1: metal or nonmetal?
