How do atoms become ions? Do now: Draw the electronic structures of: Period 2: Li +1 ,Be, C, O -2 Period 3: Na, Mg +2 , S, Cl -1 What do you notice?
Losing electrons to form positive ions Na Na 2,8,1 + [ 2,8 ] + Outermost shell only drawn
Gaining electrons to form negative ions Outermost shell only drawn Cl Cl 2,8,7 - [2,8,8] -
Transfer of electrons
Ionic bonding So when sodium reacts with chlorine, each sodium atom loses an electron and each chlorine atom gains an electron. Why would they form ions?
Ionic bonding So when sodium reacts with chlorine, each sodium atom loses an electron and each chlorine atom gains an electron. They both form stable ions.
Drawing ions Apply what you have just learnt about sodium chloride to other ionic compounds. Group 1 elements lose 1 electron Group 2 elements lose 2 electrons Group 6 elements gain 2 electrons Group 7 elements gain 1 electron EXTENSION TASK : ON THE DIAGRAMS YOU HAVE DRAWN, WRITE THE ELECTRON CONFIGURATIONS FOR THE ATOMS AND THE IONS.
