VALENCE ELECTRONS:
The electrons present in the outermost or valence shell of an atom
are called valence electrons.
ATOMICITY
The number of atoms present in a molecule of an
element or compound is known as its atomicity.
OCTET RULE – The octet rule refers to the tendency
of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the
valence shell.
❑ When atoms have less than 8 electrons in their valence
shell, then they tend to loose, gain or share electrons in
order to have 8 electrons in their valence shell. Thus
forming stable compounds.

ION
An ion is a charged particle. It is charged because it
contains unequal number of protons and electrons.

FORMATION OF CATION
Valency is the
combining capacity of
an element.
How to calculate valency?
Q. Give reasons:
a) If an atom has 2 electrons (except He) in its outer shell, it has a
tendency to loose electrons.
Ans: An atom is stable if it has 8 electrons in its valence shell
therefore in order to get stable electronic configuration atom loose
2 electrons rather than gaining 6 electrons.
