Ch. 5 Ionic Compounds
Section 1Simple Ions
Questions To Think About1. What is the difference
between an atom and an ion?
2. How can an atom become an ion?
For Review Define valence electrons.
How many is an octet?
What is an ion?
What is a cation? An anion?
Chemical Reactivity How much an element reacts depends on the electron configuration.
Noble gases are the least reactive elements.
Compare the electron configuration of O (oxygen) to Ne (neon).
Chemical Reactivity [O] = 1s2 2s2 2p4
Oxygen has only 6 valence electrons with only 4 in its p orbital. It can hold a total of 6.
[Ne] = 1s2 2s2 2p6
Neon has 8 valence electrons and its p orbital is completely filled.
Chemical Reactivity Noble gases are stable because their
electron configurations have completely filled s & p orbitals in their outer shell.
In most chemical reactions atoms tend to match the s & p electron configurations of the noble gases. This is known as the octet rule.
Valence Electrons Why does potassium lose one
valence electron instead of gaining seven?
Removing one requires far less energy than adding seven more.
Valence Electrons Ions – An atom or molecule that has
gained or lost one or more electrons & has a positive or negative charge.
Cation – K → K+ + e-
[K] = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
[K+] = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 (electron configuration just like argon)
Valence Electrons Anion – Cl + e- → Cl-
[Cl] = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5
[Cl-] = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 (electron configuration just like argon)
Valence Electrons Practice Will calcium gain or lose
electrons to form an ion? How many?
Write the electron configuration for the calcium ion.
Valence Electrons How does an atom (parent atom)
compare to the ion that it forms after it loses or gains an electron?
Uses the same name Has the same number of protons &
neutrons
Has different chemical properties because of different #’s of electrons
Valence Electrons Remember an ion is different
from a noble gas Ions have charge – so they form
compounds Ions conduct electricity when
dissolved in water Noble gases are unreactive and
have none of these properties
Valence ElectronsStable ions that don’t have noble gas
configurations
Transition metals often form ions without complete octets
With the exception of Re these are all cations
Also can form stable ions with more than one charge
