An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

Ions ndash loss or gain of e-Ions ndash loss or gain of e-
An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc

Ions ndash loss or gain of e-Ions ndash loss or gain of e-
An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc

We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types

22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc

An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

Ions ndash loss or gain of e-Ions ndash loss or gain of e-
An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc

We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc

Ions ndash loss or gain of e-Ions ndash loss or gain of e-
An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

Ionic bondingIonic bondingIonic bonds are formed from the Ionic bonds are formed from the
transfer of electrons from one transfer of electrons from one atom to another As previously atom to another As previously stated this is to obtain an stated this is to obtain an overall noble gas overall noble gas configuration The ratio of configuration The ratio of atoms results in an electrically atoms results in an electrically neutral compoundneutral compound
Because oppositely charged Because oppositely charged particles attract to form these particles attract to form these bonds bonds ionic bonds tend to ionic bonds tend to form between metals and non-form between metals and non-metalsmetals
Note ionic compounds do not Note ionic compounds do not form discreet molecules form discreet molecules rather they tend to form an rather they tend to form an array of anions and cations in array of anions and cations in a fixed ratio which is given in a fixed ratio which is given in the the empirical formula (See empirical formula (See next slide)next slide)

Ions ndash loss or gain of e-Ions ndash loss or gain of e-
An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

Ionic bondingIonic bondingIonic bonds are formed from the Ionic bonds are formed from the
transfer of electrons from one transfer of electrons from one atom to another As previously atom to another As previously stated this is to obtain an stated this is to obtain an overall noble gas overall noble gas configuration The ratio of configuration The ratio of atoms results in an electrically atoms results in an electrically neutral compoundneutral compound
Because oppositely charged Because oppositely charged particles attract to form these particles attract to form these bonds bonds ionic bonds tend to ionic bonds tend to form between metals and non-form between metals and non-metalsmetals
Note ionic compounds do not Note ionic compounds do not form discreet molecules form discreet molecules rather they tend to form an rather they tend to form an array of anions and cations in array of anions and cations in a fixed ratio which is given in a fixed ratio which is given in the the empirical formula (See empirical formula (See next slide)next slide)

Ions ndash loss or gain of e-Ions ndash loss or gain of e-
An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

Ions ndash loss or gain of e-Ions ndash loss or gain of e-
An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

Ions ndash loss or gain of e-Ions ndash loss or gain of e-
An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

Ions ndash loss or gain of e-Ions ndash loss or gain of e-
An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

Ions ndash loss or gain of e-Ions ndash loss or gain of e-
An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

Ions ndash loss or gain of e-Ions ndash loss or gain of e-
An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

Ions ndash loss or gain of e-Ions ndash loss or gain of e-
An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

Ionic bondingIonic bondingIonic bonds are formed from the Ionic bonds are formed from the
transfer of electrons from one transfer of electrons from one atom to another As previously atom to another As previously stated this is to obtain an stated this is to obtain an overall noble gas overall noble gas configuration The ratio of configuration The ratio of atoms results in an electrically atoms results in an electrically neutral compoundneutral compound
Because oppositely charged Because oppositely charged particles attract to form these particles attract to form these bonds bonds ionic bonds tend to ionic bonds tend to form between metals and non-form between metals and non-metalsmetals
Note ionic compounds do not Note ionic compounds do not form discreet molecules form discreet molecules rather they tend to form an rather they tend to form an array of anions and cations in array of anions and cations in a fixed ratio which is given in a fixed ratio which is given in the the empirical formula (See empirical formula (See next slide)next slide)

Ions ndash loss or gain of e-Ions ndash loss or gain of e-
An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

Ions ndash loss or gain of e-Ions ndash loss or gain of e-
An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

Ionic bondingIonic bondingIonic bonds are formed from the Ionic bonds are formed from the
transfer of electrons from one transfer of electrons from one atom to another As previously atom to another As previously stated this is to obtain an stated this is to obtain an overall noble gas overall noble gas configuration The ratio of configuration The ratio of atoms results in an electrically atoms results in an electrically neutral compoundneutral compound
Because oppositely charged Because oppositely charged particles attract to form these particles attract to form these bonds bonds ionic bonds tend to ionic bonds tend to form between metals and non-form between metals and non-metalsmetals
Note ionic compounds do not Note ionic compounds do not form discreet molecules form discreet molecules rather they tend to form an rather they tend to form an array of anions and cations in array of anions and cations in a fixed ratio which is given in a fixed ratio which is given in the the empirical formula (See empirical formula (See next slide)next slide)

valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types

22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

Ions ndash loss or gain of e-Ions ndash loss or gain of e-
An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

Ionic bondingIonic bondingIonic bonds are formed from the Ionic bonds are formed from the
transfer of electrons from one transfer of electrons from one atom to another As previously atom to another As previously stated this is to obtain an stated this is to obtain an overall noble gas overall noble gas configuration The ratio of configuration The ratio of atoms results in an electrically atoms results in an electrically neutral compoundneutral compound
Because oppositely charged Because oppositely charged particles attract to form these particles attract to form these bonds bonds ionic bonds tend to ionic bonds tend to form between metals and non-form between metals and non-metalsmetals
Note ionic compounds do not Note ionic compounds do not form discreet molecules form discreet molecules rather they tend to form an rather they tend to form an array of anions and cations in array of anions and cations in a fixed ratio which is given in a fixed ratio which is given in the the empirical formula (See empirical formula (See next slide)next slide)

An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types

22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions

An atom that loses or gains An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion electrons is called an ion
There are two typesThere are two types
11 CationsCations (+) have lost electrons (+) have lost electrons making them positively charged (eg making them positively charged (eg MgMg2+2+ loss of 2e-) loss of 2e-)
22 AnionsAnions (-) have gained electrons (-) have gained electrons making them negatively charged (eg making them negatively charged (eg OO2- 2- gain of 2e-)gain of 2e-)
IonsIonsThe loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of The loss or gain of e- to form ions is directly related to the number of
valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble valence e- in an atom All atoms have a driving force towards a noble gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- gas e- configuration as this is the most stable configuration (ie 8 e- in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1in the valence shell unless we are talking about the 1stst shell which shell which only holds 2 e- as in He)only holds 2 e- as in He)
We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic We can predict the ions that are formed by atoms by using the Periodic Table Table The group number (column number) indicates the The group number (column number) indicates the number of e- in the valence shellnumber of e- in the valence shell Therefore Therefore
Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group I has one valence e- and will tend to lose 1e- forming a +1 ion and Group VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etcGroup VII has 7 valence e- and will tend to gain 1e- forming a -1 ion etc
The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these The transition metals are more difficult to predict as many of these elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose elements have a variable e- configuration however these will all lose electrons to form positive ionselectrons to form positive ions
