Question
Answer
the number of electrons found in the outermost energy level of an atom---in the s and p orbitals   valence electrons  
🗑
electrons within an atom responsible for chemical bonding   valence electrons  
🗑
when sodium combines chemically with chlorine, how does sodium become more stable   by losing an electron to chlorine the atom becomes a positive ion and has a total of 8 valence electrons  
🗑
when chlorine combines chemically with sodium, how does chlorine become more stable   by gaining an electron the atom becomes a negative ion with a total of 8 valence electrons  
🗑
when a neutral atom loses an electron the atom is transformed into __________   a positive ion  
🗑
a positive ion is called a ________   cation  
🗑
when a neutral atom gains an electron the atom is transformed into _________   a negative ion  
🗑
a negative ion is called an   anion  
🗑
the Lewis structure for sodium chloride is   [Na]^+[Cl]^-  
🗑
an ion is formed when an atom either __________ or ____________ an electron   loses, gains  
🗑
in the formation of sodium chloride, what keeps the ions together   the attraction the positively charged ion has for the negatively charged ion and vice versa  
🗑
an _______________ is formed when an electron is transferred from one atom to another atom   ionic bond  
🗑
atoms held together by ionic bonds form a ________ __________   crystal structure  
🗑
explain how magnesium and fluorine combine chemically   the metallic atom will transfer a total of two electron. one electron will be transferred to two separate fluorine atoms. the nonmetal atoms become negatively charged and the other atom becomes a positive ion  
🗑
Why do atoms transfer and accept ions from each other   to fulfill the octet rule meaning that the atom or ion has at least 8 valence electrons  
🗑
what is the octet rule   atoms combine chemically in order to have a full outside energy level or have at least 8 electrons in the outside energy level  
🗑
by what process is a fluorine molecule formed   the two f atoms have 7 valence electrons, six electrons are paired and one unpaired. by the sharing the tow unpaired electrons both atoms in effect have 8 electrons in the outside energy level  
🗑
the ___________ _________ represent a pair of electrons being shared between two atoms   bond line  
🗑
the electrons within an atom that are not involved in the bonding process are called the _________ ______   none bonding pair  
🗑
the sharing of valence electrons between two atoms is called ________ ________   covalent bonding  
🗑
a covalent compound is sometimes called a _______ ________   molecular compound  
🗑
ionic compounds are not made of ___________   molecules  
🗑
what must happen in order for two oxygen atoms and one carbon atom to form a molecule   the carbon atom has two pairs of shared electrons with each oxygen atom  
🗑
draw the Lewis structure for carbon dioxide molecule   O=C=O  
🗑
when two atoms share a total of 4 electrons (two pairs of shared electrons) the bond is called a ________   double bond  
🗑
when two atoms share a total of 6 electrons (three pairs of shared electrons) the bond is called a ______   triple bond  
🗑
list the steps involved in writing a Lewis structure   1. count the number of valence electrons involved for each atom in the compound. 2. determine the number of needed electrons for full octets 3. needed electrons - valence electrons then divide by 2-----gives you the total number of bonds needed in t
