Noble gases

How do atoms achieve the electronic

configuration of a noble gas
• Losing outer electrons
• Gaining outer electrons
• Sharing outer electrons
 Ion
• When atoms lose or gain electrons , they form
ions
• Recall the previous concept that number of
electrons is equal to the number of protons so
atom is electrically neutral.
• In an ion the number of protons and electrons
are different .
 Cations
• When atom lose electrons they become positive
as the number of protons is more than number of
electrons
Below is the ion of sodium
 Draw the structure of following
Cations
• Magnesium
• Potassium
• Aluminium
 Anion
• When atoms gain electrons they become positive
as the number of electrons are more than
number of protons
• Below is the ion of chlorine
Draw the structure of following anion
• Chlorine
• Oxygen
• Sulphur
Non metals form anion with name end with -ide
Ions of first 20 element
 Ionic Bond
• Ionic bond are the strong electrostatic forces
of attraction between positive and negative
ions.
• The formation of NaCl
• The formation of MgCl2

Physical Properties of ionic compound
• Most ionic compounds have high melting and
boiling point
• Ionic compounds are usually soluble in water
and insoluble in organic solvents
• Ionic compound conduct electricity when
molten or in aqueous solution
