Pyrite (FeS2), a common mineral that emits sparks when struck against steel, is often
mistaken for gold—hence its nickname, “fool’s gold.” Pyrite is an example of a crystalline solid. In this chapter, you will learn about crystalline solids composed of ions that are
bonded together. But first you need to understand how ions form from neutral atoms.

Trends in Electronegativity
Trends in Electronegativity
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom of an
element to attract electrons when the atom is in a compound.
In general, electronegativity values decrease from top
to bottom within a group. For representative
elements, the values tend to increase from left to right across a period.

Valence Electrons
How do you find the number of valence electrons in an atom of a representative element?
Slide 14 of 39
Ions > Valence Electrons
Valence electrons are the electrons in the highest occupied energy level of an
element’s atoms.
**The number of valence electrons largely determines the chemical properties of an element.

The Octet Rule
The Octet Rule
Atoms of which elements tend to gain electrons? Atoms of which elements tend to lose electrons?
Slide 21 of 39
Ions > The Octet Rule
Noble gases, such as neon and argon, are unreactive in chemical reactions. In 1916,
chemist Gilbert Lewis used this fact to explain why atoms form certain kinds of ions and
molecules.
He called his explanation the octet rule: In forming compounds, atoms tend to
achieve the electron configuration of a noble gas.

Atoms of metals tend to lose their
valence electrons, leaving a

energy level
. Atoms of some
non-metals tend to gain electrons or to
share electrons with another
nonmetal to achieve a complete
octet.

Formation of Cations
How are cations formed?
Slide 32 of 39
Ions > Formation of Cations
An atom’s loss of valence electrons produces a cation, or a positively charged ion.
Slide 33 of 39
Ions > Formation of Cations
The most common cations are those
produced by the loss of valence electrons from metal atoms.
You can represent the electron loss, or
ionization, of the sodium atom by drawing the complete electron configuration of the atom and of the ion formed.

The electron configuration of the sodium ion is the same as that of a neon atom.

A magnesium atom attains the electron
configuration of neon by losing both valence electrons. The loss of valence electrons
produces a magnesium cation with a charge of 2+.
