IONIC COMPOUNDS AND METALS d.winsome@atakamul.edu.kw LESSON 1 ION FORMATION OCTET RULE The most stable elements in the periodic table are noble gases why? Because their valence sublevels are completely full of electrons(8 electrons). They’re unreactive they rarely react? Because their valence are completely full of electrons (8 electrons). All the elements in the periodic table follow or copy noble gases, they`re going either gain or lose or share electrons to have 8 electrons in their valence shell (Octet rule). No of valence electrons=GP NO IN THE PERIODIC TABLE elements only Representative LEWIS DOT STRUCTURE OF ELEMENTS VALENCE ELECTRONS AND CHEMICAL BONDS FORMING POSITIVE IONS(CATIONS) FORMING POSITIVE IONS(CATIONS) FORMING POSITIVE IONS(CATIONS) FORMING NEGATIVE IONS(ANIONS) FORMING NEGATIVE IONS (ANIONS) LETS TRY THESE Draw models to represent the formation of the positive calcium ion and the negative bromide ion CLASSWORK ON FORMING NEGATIVE AND POSTIVE IONS
