8.3-9.3 Flashcards
atoms lose, gain, or share electrons in order to acquire a full set of eight valence electrons
the octet rule
bohr: electrons move in fixed in circular orbits around nucleus of an atoms. ALL electrons shown. Lewis: only shows valence electrons
the difference between a bohr’s model and lewis model
an atom that is no longer neutral because it is either positive (loses e-) or negative (gains e-)
what an ion is
an atom that is no longer neutral because it is either positive (loses e-) or negative (gains e-
what an ion is
In any chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed it only changes form
the law of consecration of matter
family #1 alkali metals family #2 alkali earth metals family #3 boron family family #4 carbon family family #5 nitrogen family family #6 oxygen family #7 halogens family #8 noble gases
noble gases have a full outer energy level, they are stable themselves. they do not need compounds.
what is so special about noble gases
each element competes each others octet by sharing electrons
what a covalent bond is
