2. 2 An octet Contains 8 valence electrons. Is associated with the stability of the noble gases. Exception is He that is stable with 2 valence electrons (duet). valence electrons He 22 Ne 2, 88 Ar 2, 8, 8 8 Kr 2, 8, 18, 88 Octet Rule

3. 3 Forming Octets Atoms acquire octets By forming compounds. To become more stable. By losing, gaining, or sharing valence electrons. Copyright © 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings

4. 4 Ionic and Covalent Bonds Ionic bonds involve Loss of electrons by a metal. Gain of electrons by a nonmetal. Covalent bonds involve A sharing of electrons. Copyright © 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings

5. 5 Metals Form Positive Ions Metals form Octets by losing all of their valence electrons. Positive ions with the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas. Positive ions with fewer electrons than protons. Group 1A(1) metals  ion 1+ Group 2A(2) metals  ion 2+ Group 3A(13) metals  ion 3+ Copyright © 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
