Please take the sheet from the front cart, fold
it as a booklet with the table on the outside,
and place it on to pg.
 If you have a finished Atomic Basics
worksheet and poster to give me, take them
out!

Atomic Bonding

Atoms use their valence electrons to bond and interact
with other atoms. You could think of this as their way of
“socializing”.
The Octet Rule
 First let’s go to the video…
 Atoms want to have 8 valence electrons
in their outer shell to become stable.
 OCTET RULE: Guideline that states that
atoms tend to combine in such a way
that they each have 8 electrons in their
outer shells giving them the same
electron setup as a Noble Gas.
 There are exceptions!
Ions

An ion is an atom that has lost or gained valence e-and is
no longer neutral.
Ions that have LOST electrons have a POSITIVE charge.
These are called cations.
Ions that have GAINED electrons have a NEGATIVE charge.
These are called anions.
Ions

What happens when you change the
number of electrons in an atom?

The atom becomes an ion.
Example: Sodium
Example: Chlorine
Ions and Isotopes

What happens when you change the
number of protons in an atom?

You change the identity of the atom to a
different element.
WARNING!
When changing the charge of an
atom, you can NEVER change
the number of protons! ONLY
ELECTRONS!
BRIGHT Atom
Make a neutral atom of Lithium. What is the number of
protons, electrons, and neutrons?
p= _________ e-= _________
n= _________
• How do we make Lithium stable like a noble gas?
p= _________ e-= _________
n= _________
Is the atom more positive or negative? ______________
By how many? ___________
Write the ion symbol:
•
BRIGHT Atom
•
Now make a neutral again.
•
Now I want a Lithium atom with a -3 charge.
p= _________
e-= _________
n= _________
Is the atom more positive or negative? ______________
By how many? ___________
Write the ion symbol:
Isotopes

What happens when you change the
number of neutrons in an atom?

The atom becomes a different
isotope of that element.
Iphone Analogy

Isotopes are like same models of Iphone
with different amounts of memory.
Isotopes
An isotope is a version of an element
that has a different number of neutrons.
 Isotopes all behave chemically behave
the same
 Many isotopes are radioactive and can
be used for determining the age of
rocks, fossils, and artifacts. They also
have many uses in the medical field.
