Ions are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule and have fuller valence electron shells.
jeyben [28]3 years ago

Answer & explanation:

For an atom to be electrically <u>neutral</u>, it must have the same amount of protons and electrons, but this does not always happen, so compounds called ions arise.

Ions are formed when an atom of an element has electron gain or loss due to reactions. They can be classified into <u>cations</u> and <u>anions</u>.

Anions are atoms that receive electrons, so they are negatively charged.

<u>Examples</u>: Cl⁻, O⁻², N⁻³

Cations are atoms that lose electrons and thus become positively charged.

<u>Examples</u>: Na⁺, Al⁺³, Pb⁺⁴

In addition, some compounds are formed in bonds between negative and positive ions. These are called ionic bonds.

<u>Example</u>: Formation of sodium chloride (table salt).

Na⁺ + Cl⁻ → NaCl

Given the following partial (valence-level) electron configurations,<br> (a) identify each element,
Kamila [148]

The arrangement of electrons within an atom is called the electronic configuration and the electrons are filled up according to the energy of the levels as: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f.

<h3>What is the difference between electron configuration and valence electron configuration?</h3>

Electron configuration is the number of electrons that are present in the atom and is repressed through the different sub-shells. So for example, the electron configuration for oxygen is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^4. While the valence electrons only refer to the electrons in the outermost shell of the atom.

<h3>What is a partial orbital diagram?</h3>

A partial orbital diagram shows only the highest energy sublevels being filled. Al (Z = 13) 1s22s22p63s23p1. A condensed electron configuration has the element symbol of the previous noble gas in square brackets. Al has the condensed configuration [Ne]3s23p1.
