Why do Ions form?
• In order to understand why ions form, you need to know how Electrons are arranged!
• Where are electrons located???

Quick Review of Electron Configuration
• Electrons are found in the electron cloud, but they’re not just placed anywhere.
• Electrons are found on different energy levels around the nucleus, and each energy level has a maximum number of electrons that it can hold
• 1st level = 2 2nd level = 8• 3rd level = 18 4th level = 32• Keep in mind, these are the maximum they can hold and
not always the most stable configuration.

How do they get in there?
• Electrons start at the lowest level and work their way up, so always start in the first level.
• How many does the first level hold?• They fill in a the first level before going on to
the next.• NOTE: if it is the outermost energy level, 8 is
maximum number of electrons

Put on your thinking caps
• What do you remember about the Noble gases?
• Stable because of its unique electron formation, stable outer energy level!
• Octet Rule – Every atom wants to be in a stable form, this occurs when an atom has a stable outer energy level. (Usually 8 valence electrons in it outer energy level – A few exceptions….)

Unlocking the secrets of bonding, one electron at a time
• So, Atoms want to always be stable, but how can we determine what they will do?
• It’s all based on their number of valence electrons (electrons in outermost energy level).
• Lets go back to Boron!

• Look at Boron in it’s normal state
• Not stable! – NO OCTET! so what is easier and quicker for this atom?
• Gain 5 more or loose 3?
• And the winner is…..
STABLE 1st ENERGY LEVEL

Oxidation Number
• Congrats! You just determined the oxidation number for Boron!
• Oxidation number is the number of electrons an atom gains or loseswhen bonding.
Ox-a-what?!

All the steps you need • 1) Find the element and figure out how many
electrons it normally would have. (Remember it’s the same as Protons)
• 2) Ask yourself, how many valence electrons does this atom have? (Those are the ones on the outer energy level)
• 3) Would it be quicker to add and get 8 valence electrons, or lose them and go down to a stable lower level? (I don’t think you need a hint here, it’s literally that easy)

What did you notice?
• What did you see about atoms that are in the same groups?
• Remember that these elements in the same columns have similar electron configurations!!!!
• SO…..Every atom in the same group has the same electron configuration! Ready for a big helping hint??? Get out your Periodic Table and check this out!
