Valence electrons

Valence electrons
are those electrons
that are lost or
gained when
elements combine.
Nonmetals will gain electrons when
forming compounds. They become
negatively charged because there will be
more electrons than protons. A
negative ion will be formed.

Metals will lose electrons when
forming compounds. They become
positively charged because there
will be more protons than
electrons. A positive ion is formed.

12N 11P = +11
10E = -10
ionic charge: 1P = +1
Sodium loses one electron. Sodium now
has 11 protons and 10 electrons, (+1).
Chlorine gains one electron. Chlorine
now has 17 protons and 18 electrons, (-1).
 Metals will lose 1, 2, or 3 electrons
in the last energy level to other
elements. This will leave the last
shell complete.

 Nonmetals will gain 1, 2, or 3


electrons onto their outside
energy level from other
elements. This will
complete the last shell.
• Valence electrons are electrons
that are lost or gained when
elements combine.

• Ions are elements that lose or


gain an electron. They then
become electrically charged,
therefore electrically attractive
and open for bonding!
Elements in Group 1 will lose 1
electrons and become positive (+1) ions.
Elements in Group 2 will lose 2
electrons and become positive (+2) ions.
Elements in Group 13 will lose 3
electrons and become positive (+3) ions.
Elements in Group 14 can either lose
or gain 4 electrons, either (+/-4) ions.

Bohr Model
Bohr models show every
electrons on each energy
level of an atom.
DOT DIAGRAMS
Dot diagrams show the electrons on the
last energy level of an atom.
Metals will have 1, 2, 3, or 4 electrons.
Ex: Sodium

12N

To write the Dot Diagram for this


element you would write
Na .
In nonmetals, these are the electrons that
are on the last energy level. There will be
*4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 electrons.
Ex: Chlorine
