22 views2 pages

Document Summary

Joining of two atoms in a stable arrangement. Two types of bonding : ionic and covalent. Elements want to reach the electron configuration of the noble gas closest to them on the periodic table: ex. Cations lose 1, 2 or 3 electrons to form a completely full outer shell. For groups 1a, 2a and 3a : the group number = charge on the cation. Group 2a = 2 valence electrons = 2 electrons lost = charge is 2+ For groups 5a, 6a and 7a: the charge of the anion = 8- the group number. Transition metals charges are harder to predict and some will form more than one type of cation. *octet rule: a main group element is stable when it has 8 valence electrons in its outer shell* Covalent compounds sharing of electrons from one element to another form between 2 nonmetals or a nonmetal and a metalloid. Metals and transition metals form cations and nonmetals form anions.
