Chapter 1-4 Valence Electrons and Ionic Compounds
Essential knowledge
• The likelihood that two elements will form a chemical bond is determined by
the interactions between the valence electrons and nuclei of elements.
• Elements in the same column of the periodic table tend to form
analogous compounds.
• Typical charges of atoms in ionic compounds are governed by their
location on the periodic table and the number of valence electrons.
Recap: cations and anions
• Positive ions (cations) are formed by the loss of one or more
electrons.
Na - e- Na+
• Negative ions (anions) are formed by the gain of one or more
electrons.
F + e - F-
Ag+, Zn2+ , Cd2+
Q1
(1) oxygen
(2) sodium
(3) magnesium
(4) zinc
(5) silver
(6) aluminum
1. Predict the typical charge of the following
ions :
F: force of attraction
+q: charge of the positive ion
-q: charge of the negative ion
r: distance between the ions' nuclei (~ the sum of the
radii of ions)

Exception: zinc and silver don’t use Roman numerals because they only have one
possible oxidation state.
