8.  Elements that have a nearly full valence shell, like chlorine, have high electronegativities and can gain electrons easily. chlorine 4s __ 4p ___ ___ ___ 3s___3p ___ ___ ___ 2s___2p ___ ___ ___ 1s ___ 17 protons and 17 electrons = 0 charge

12. potassium 4s __ 4p ___ ___ ___ 3s___3p ___ ___ ___ 2s___2p ___ ___ ___ 1s ___ 19 protons + 18 electrons = 1+ charge  Atoms that have lost one or more electrons are now positive ions and are called cations (kat-ī- ə n).

13. chlorine anion (1- charge) 4s __ 4p ___ ___ ___ 3s___3p ___ ___ ___ 2s___2p ___ ___ ___ 1s ___ potassium cation (1+ charge) 4s __ 4p ___ ___ ___ 3s___3p ___ ___ ___ 2s___2p ___ ___ ___ 1s ___ When each atom gained or lost electrons, the new outer shell (energy level) is full, like the noble gases.

14. Different atoms or ions that have the same electron configuration are called isoelectric. The Cl - ion is isoelectric with the K + ion. They are both isoelectric with neon. chlorine anion (1- charge) 4s __ 4p ___ ___ ___ 3s___3p ___ ___ ___ 2s___2p ___ ___ ___ 1s ___ potassium cation (1+ charge) 4s __ 4p ___ ___ ___ 3s___3p ___ ___ ___ 2s___2p ___ ___ ___ 1s ___

15. Atoms lose or gain electrons in order to have a full valence shell (a noble gas configuration). This will typically result in 8 valence electrons and make the resulting ion isoelectric with the noble gas.

16. Rather than draw orbital diagrams, we can use Lewis Structures (Lewis Dot Diagrams) to show numbers of valence electrons. Cl 1. Write symbol of element. 2. Determine number of valence electrons by position on periodic table 3. Use dots to represent electrons around symbol (one at a time on each side and then pair them up.) 7 valence electrons because in group 17

17. Cl So when chlorine forms an ion, will it gain or lose electrons? How many? It needs one more to have an octet. What will its charge be now? 1-

18. K 1. Write symbol of element. 2. Determine number of valence electrons by position on periodic table 3. Use dots to represent electrons around symbol (one at a time on each side and then pair them up.) 1 valence electrons because in group 1

19. K So when potassium forms an ion, will it gain or lose electrons? How many? It will lose one electron to have a full valence What will its charge be now? 1+

20. N 1. Write symbol of element. 2. Determine number of valence electrons by position on periodic table 3. Use dots to represent electrons around symbol (one at a time on each side and then pair them up.) 5 valence electrons because in group 15

21. So when nitrogen forms an ion, will it gain or lose electrons? How many? It will gain three electrons to have a full valence What will its charge be now? 3- N
