These are the electrons located at the outermost (highest) principal energy level of a representative or noble gas element.
Assigning valence electrons is only applicable to representative elements, that is, groups IA to VIIIA (transition elements in the d sublevels are NOT included)
It is, therefore, common to see valence electrons in the s or p sublevels.
Valence Electrons
The electrons located between the valence electrons and the nucleus are called core electrons. In other words, all the other electrons which are not found in the outermost shell are considered core.
Core electrons
is also called Lewis Dot Diagram or Lewis symbol.
Gilbert Lewis, an American chemist, first introduced this shorthand symbol
devised by scientists to designate the valence electrons of the atoms in an element
Lewis Dot Diagram
have complete outermost electrons.
noble gases
the maximum number of valence electrons for any element
eight
This rule states that the atoms of an element lose, gain or even share electrons so that their electron configurations achieve eight valence electrons.
This will be the basis for the next topic, chemical bonds.
octet rule
A force that holds groups of two or more atoms together and makes them function as an intact unit.
chemical bond
Bonds involve the electrons in the
outer shells of atoms
The atoms of noble gases have full outer shells and so are stable.
This makes the noble gases very unreactive, and so they do not usually form bonds.
The atoms of other elements have incomplete outer electron shells making them unstable.
are formed when different elements chemically react with each other.
compounds
occurs between nonmetals atoms only
covalent bonding
occurs between metal and nonmetal atoms.
ionic bonding
occurs between metal atoms only
metallic bonding
All bonds involve electrons, and all bonding includes changes in the number of valence electrons.
metal is at the right side
non metal left side kasama yung H
For a substance or mixture to conduct electricity
It must contain charged particles.
Charged particles must be free to move or migrate.
conductivity
Ionic compounds are always electrolytes if they DISSOLVE in water
A type of chemical bond due to the attractive electrostatic force between cations (+ metal) and anions (- nonmetals)
Electrostatic forces: attraction/repulsion that exists between charged particles.
Ionic bonding
Electrolyte - conducts electricity - release ions when dissolved in water (dissociation or ionization)
Non-electrolyte- does not conduct electricity- no mobile or dissociated ions
are due to the sharing of electrons by two (or more) nonmetal atoms.
covalent bonding
form when one atom “TRANSFERS” an electron with another atom.
is the electrostatic force that holds OPPOSITE CHARGES in a compound: METAL(cation, +) and NONMETAL(anion -)
Ionic Bond
is an atom or molecule that is positively (+) or negatively (-) charged
is created when a neutral atom accepts or donates one or more electrons.
Ion
The collective set of rules that help you name chemical formulas is known as
nomenclature
