Ions

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

Valence Electrons

Valence Electrons

How do you find the number of valence electrons in an atom of a representative element?

(4)

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.

(5)

Slide 5 of 39

To find the number of valence electrons in an atom of a representative element, simply look at its group number.

Slide 7 of 39

Electron dot structures are diagrams that show valence electrons as dots.

(8)

Ions > The Octet Rule

The Octet Rule

Atoms of which elements tend to gain electrons? Atoms of which elements tend to lose electrons?

(9)

Slide 9 of 39

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.

(10)

Atoms of metals tend to lose their

valence electrons, leaving a complete octet in the next-lowest 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

Formation of Cations

How are cations formed?

(12)

Ions > Formation of Cations

An atom’s loss of valence electrons produces a cation, or a positively charged ion.

(13)

Slide 13 of 39

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.

(14)

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

(15)

Slide 15 of 39

Using electron dot structures, you can show the ionization more simply.

(16)

The sodium atoms in a sodium-vapor lamp ionize to form sodium cations.

(17)

Slide 17 of 39

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+.

(18)

Walnuts are a good dietary

source of

magnesium.

Magnesium ions (Mg2+) aid in

digestive processes.

(19)

Slide 19 of 39

Cations of Group 1 or 1A elements always have a charge of 1+.

Cations of group 2 or 2A elements always have a charge of 2+.

(20)

A copper atom can ionize to form a 1+ cation (Cu+). By losing its lone 4s electron, copper

attains a pseudo noble-gas electron configuration.

Formation of Anions

Formation of Anions

How are anions formed?

(22)

Ions > Formation of Anions

The gain of negatively charged

electrons by a neutral atom produces an anion.

•

An anion is an atom or a group of atoms with a negative charge.

•

The name of an anion typically ends in -ide.

(23)

Slide 23 of 39

The figure shows the symbols of anions

formed by some

elements in Groups 5A, 6A, and 7A.

(24)

A gain of one electron gives chlorine an octet and converts a chlorine atom into a chloride ion. It has the same electron

configuration as the noble gas argon.

(25)

Slide 25 of 39

Both a chloride ion and the argon atom have an octet of electrons in their highest occupied energy levels.

(26)

In this equation, each dot in the electron dot structure represents an electron in the

valence shell in the electron configuration diagram.

(27)

Slide 27 of 39

The negatively charged ions in seawater—the

anions—are mostly chloride ions.

(28)

The ions that are produced when atoms of chlorine and other halogens gain electrons are called halide ions.

•

All halogen atoms have seven valence electrons.

•

All halogen atoms need to gain only one

electron to achieve the electron configuration of a noble gas.
