43. What is an ion? An ion is a charged atom with an uneven number of electrons because its lost or gained them

44. What type of ions do metals form? What type of ions do non-metals form? Metals form positive ions b/c they've

45. How many valence electrons and electron shells do each of the following elements have:

a. Helium 2 valence electons, 1 electron shells

b. Chlorine 7 valence electrons, 3 electron shells

c. Sodium 1 valence elctron, 3 electron shells

d. Calcium 2 valence electrons, 4 electron shells

e. Sulfur 6 valence elctrons, 3 electron shells

46. Pick two different elements on the periodic table, and determine based on their positions, which one has the

higher ionization energy and larger atomic radius. Answers will vary depending on the elements you chose, but that radius increases down, and decreases across. Ionization energy is opposite.

Topic 5

47. Summarize the similarities and differences between ionic and covalent bonds.

_Ionic bonds form through the transfer of electrons between cations (metals) and anions (non-metals). Their electronegativity difference is ~ greater than or equal to 1. ** Covalent bonds form through the the sharing of electrons between non-metals. Polar covalent bonds show electronegativity difference between 1.69 and 0.4; they display an uneven sharing of electrons. Non-polar bonds show an electronegativity difference less than or equal to 0.4, and evenly share electrons_**

48. What is the octet rule, and how can it be used to determine the number of electrons an atom will gain or

lose when it becomes an ion? Atoms want to gain or lose electrons to stabilize, and the most stable elements are those with full valence shells: the Noble gases. All but Helium have 8 valence electrons, and the prefix for 8 is "oct-", hence the "octet rule." Metals have fewer valence electrons than non-metals, and its "easier" for them to lose electrons to stabilize and take on the electron configuration of the closest Noble gas, which are "behind" them on the periodic table. Non-metals are the opposite, they gain electrons to take on the configuration of the closest Noble gas, which are "in front" of them on the periodic table.

and writing their formula. see answer key for that assignment
