Atoms to Ions
The Atom Let’s look at Sodium Na Number of Protons Number of Electrons Over all charge Atomic Number neutral
The Atom Let’s look at Sodium Na Number of Protons Number of Electrons Over all charge Atomic Number neutral
The Atom Let’s look at Sodium Na Oohh Sodium doesn’t like that. 1 It wants a “happy” shell
The Atom Let’s look at Sodium Na Na It could gain 7 Na Na 2 8 or drop 1 Dropping 1 is easier sooooo
The Atom Let’s look at Sodium Na Na 2 8 Number of Electrons Over all charge Atomic Number 11 Number of Protons neutral positive The ION
The Atom Let’s look at Sodium Na ION 1+ The ION NEUTRAL atom
The Atom Let’s look at Oxygen O 2 6 Over all charge Atomic Number 8 Number of Protons 8+8+ Number of Electrons neutral
The Atom Let’s look at Oxygen O 2 6 Oohh Oxygen doesn’t like that 6
The Atom Let’s look at Oxygen O 2 6 O 2 8 It could gain 2 O 2 6 O 2 or drop 6 Gaining 2 is easier sooooo
The Atom Let’s look at Oxygen O 2 6 O 2 8 Number of Electrons Over all charge Atomic Number 8 Number of Protons neutral negative The ION
The Atom Let’s look at Oxygen OO ION 2-2- NEUTRAL atom The ION
To make life a bit easier remember these questions 1. Is it a metal or a non metal? 2. Is it a plus or a minus? 3. Valance Number ? You DO remember valance numbers??
The ION Let’s try Aluminium 1. Is it a metal or a non metal? 2. Is it a plus or a minus? 3. Valance Number ? METAL Al PLUS + 3 3
The ION Let’s try Sulphur 1. Is it a metal or a non metal? 2. Is it a plus or a minus? 3. Valance Number ? NON-METAL S MINUS - 2 2
Lots of Happy Ions
