1 ELECTRONS AVAILABLE FOR BONDING
Valence Electrons: ELECTRONS AVAILABLE FOR BONDING

2 What is a valence electron?
Valence electrons are the electrons found on the OUTER most energy shell of an atom Valence electrons are used for bonding between two or more atoms For Example: Neon has a total of 10 e- The outer most energy shell for Neon in n2, therefore the 8 e- found in n2 are Neon’s valence electrons Neon has 8 ve- The first 2 e- are placed in n1 The remaining 8 e- are placed in n2

3 Lewis Dot Structure An atom’s valence electrons can be represented by a Lewis dot Structure. 1 valence e- X 2 valence e- 3 valence e- 4 valence e- 5 valence e- 6 valence e- 7 valence e- 8 valence e- All elements in Group 1 have 1 ve- All elements in Group 2 have 2 ve- All elements in Group 3A have 3 ve- All elements in Group 4A have 4 ve- All elements in Group 5A have 5 ve- All elements in Group 6A have 6 ve- All elements in Group 7A have 7 ve- All elements in Group 8A have 8 ve-

Draw the Lewis dot structure to represent the valence electrons for the following elements. lithium Li beryllium Be boron B carbon C nitrogen N oxygen O fluorine F neon Ne

5 Valence Electrons

6 Valence Electrons from E Con
Pay attention to the HIGHEST energy level of the element and count the total electrons within that energy level: Example: 1s22s22p63s23p64s2 ___________ Example: 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d10 _________ Example: 1s22s22p6 ___________

7 Practice!!!! 1s22s2 ___________ 1s22s22p63s23p6 ___________
1s22s22p63s23p64s63d104p5 ___________ 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s1 __________

8 Group 1A (alkali metals) have 1 valence electron

9 Group 2A (alkaline earth metals) have 2 valence electrons

10 Group 13 (3A) elements have 3 valence electrons

11 Group 14 (4A) elements have 4 valence electrons

12 Group 15 (5A) elements have 5 valence electrons

13 Group 16 (6A) elements have 6 valence electrons

14 Group 17 (7A) (halogens) have 7 valence electrons

15 Group 18 (8A) (Noble gases) have 8 valence electrons, except helium, which has only 2

16 Transition metals have 1 or 2 valence electrons

17 Lewis Dot Structure An atom’s valence electrons can be represented by a Lewis dot Structure. 1 valence e- X 2 valence e- 3 valence e- 4 valence e- 5 valence e- 6 valence e- 7 valence e- 8 valence e- All elements in Group 1 have 1 ve- All elements in Group 2 have 2 ve- All elements in Group 3A have 3 ve- All elements in Group 4A have 4 ve- All elements in Group 5A have 5 ve- All elements in Group 6A have 6 ve- All elements in Group 7A have 7 ve- All elements in Group 8A have 8 ve-

18 Li Be B C N O F Ne Learning Check #1
