Dear Student:
This presentation is arranged in segments. Each segment is preceded by a Concept Preview slide and is followed by a Concept Review slide. When you reach a Concept Review slide, you can return to the beginning of that segment by clicking on the Repeat Segment button. This will allow youto view that segment again, if you want to.

Concept Preview• The nucleus of any atom is positively charged.
• Negatively charged electrons orbit the nucleus.
• The net charge on any atom is zero because the protons and electrons are equal in number.
• The valence orbit is the outermost orbit.
• Copper has only one valence electron and is an excellent conductor.
• Materials with a full valence orbit act as insulators.
• Materials with 8 electrons in the valence orbit act as insulators.

The center of an atom is called the nucleus.Most atoms have neutrons which have no charge.A nucleus also has protonsand they have a positive charge.
Negative electronsorbit the nucleus.

The valence electron is the important feature.
NN
NN
Valence electron
Its attraction to the nucleus is relatively weak.
![Page 8: Electronics Principles & Applications Sixth Edition Chapter 2 Semiconductors (student version) ©2003 Glencoe/McGraw-Hill Charles A. Schuler](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061416/56649dbd5503460f94ab0b99/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The valence electron
The nucleus plus the inner electron orbits
A simple model of the copper atom looks like this:
![Page 9: Electronics Principles & Applications Sixth Edition Chapter 2 Semiconductors (student version) ©2003 Glencoe/McGraw-Hill Charles A. Schuler](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061416/56649dbd5503460f94ab0b99/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Copper wire is usedto conduct electricitybecause the valence
electrons move freelythrough its structure.
Remember, the valenceelectrons are weakly
attracted to the nuclei.

So far, we know that copper’s single valence electron makes it a good conductor.
It acts as an electrical insulator.
The rule of eight states that a material like thiswould be stable since its valence orbit is full.
No Vacancy

Atoms of the same type can join together and form covalent bonds.
This is an electron sharing process.
Silicon atoms have four valence electrons.

The covalent sharing satisfies the rule of eight.
In this structure, one bond is formed with each neighbor.
