Valence Electrons
An electron that is found in the outermost shell of an atom and that determines the atom's chemical properties
What is a "Valence Electron"?
My symbol is Au
What is Gold?
A negative ion.
What is an "anion"?
This family on the periodic table is already full.
What are "noble gases"?
A force that holds atoms or ions together.
What is a "chemical bond"?
When the atoms of each element have the same number of valence electrons
What is a "group"?
My symbol is Cu
What is Copper
The atoms that lose electrons and have more protons
What is a "positive ion"?
These are the elements on the periodic table who always lose electrons and are always positive.
What are metals?
A substance formed when two or more atoms bond together.
What is "compound"?
The amount of electrons needed to fill up the outermost cloud of the atom
What is "eight valence electrons"?
The number that indicates the charge of an atom.
What is an "oxidation number"?
When an atom has more electrons than protons
What is a "negative ion"?
This is the ion for Lithium.
What is a the cation Li+1
Charged particles that form when atoms gain or lose electrons
What is an "ion"?
The element that is the exception to the Octet Rule and has a full outer shell with 2 electrons.
What is "Helium"?
My symbol is Sn
What is tin?
A ion that gains electrons in order to become stable.
What is an "anion"?
This is the ion for oxygen?
What is the Anion O -2
A bond that forms when valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
What is an "ionic bond"?
The rule that says that atoms lose or gain electrons to obtain a full outer shell, usually 8 valence electrons.
What is the "Octet Rule"?
This model of the atom uses only the valence electrons its diagram.
What is a "Lewis Dot Structure"?
An ion that loses electrons and is always positively charged.
What is a "cation"?
This is the ion for boron.
What is the cation B +3
This is where a chemical bond takes place.
What is "between valence electrons"?
