protons‚ electrons‚ and neutrons. Protons carry a positive electrical charge‚ electrons carry a negative electrical charge‚ and neutrons carry no electrical charge at all. The protons and neutrons come together in the central part of the atom‚ called the nucleus‚ and the electrons ’orbit’ the nucleus in the electron cloud. An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom. For example‚ the element hydrogen is made from atoms containing a single proton and a single electron. If you

stability‚ as in the case of noble gases‚ an atom strives to complete its outer shell. Either losing or gaining electrons may do this‚ which concludes in an ionic bond or the sharing of electrons with other atoms which makes a covalent bond. Ionic bonds‚ as you can probably surmise form from ions. Ions are made when an atom gains an electron to form a negative ion or loses an electron to form a positively charged ion. As an example of an ionic bond let’s used the elements Cl and Na. First‚ we must

many valence (outer shell) electrons are posessed by each atom in the molecule. 2. If there is more than one atom type in the molecule‚ put the most metallic or least electronegative atom in the center. Recall that electronegativity decreases as atom moves further away from fluorine on the periodic chart. Arrangement of atoms in CO2: 3. Arrange the electrons so that each atom contributes one electron to a single bond between each atom. 4. Count the electrons around each atom: are the

chemical bond that involves the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms. A compound is made when two or more atoms form a chemical bond‚ linking them together. The two types of bonds are ionic bonds and covalent bonds. In an ionic bond‚ the atoms are bound together by the attraction between oppositely charged ions. If the electron is shared equally between the atoms forming a covalent bond‚ then the bond is said to be nonpolar. An electron is more attracted to one atom than to another which forming

emitted due to an atom’s electrons making a transition from a high energy state to a lower energy state. Since each element has different numbers of electrons‚ each element’s emission spectrum is different. This allows elements to be identified by their color during a flame test. For example‚ it is know that a sodium cation burns a yellow-orange color. The normal electron configuration of atoms or ions of an element is known as the ground state. In this energy state‚ all electrons are at their most stable

In this process of electron transfer‚ each atom becomes a ion that is isoelectronic with the nearest noble gas.‚ the substance is held together by electrostatic forces between the ions. The tendency for these ions to be formed by elements is corespondent to the octet rule‚ when atoms react‚‚ they tend to do so in such a way that they attain an outer shell containing eight electrons.
