Q
The nature and magnitude of the charge on an ion depend on what?
A
The position of an element in the periodic table.
In forming an ion, an atom of a main group element loses or gains electrons to obtain the electronic configuration of the noble gas closest to it in the periodic table
25
Sodium (group 1A) has an atomic number of 11, giving it 11 p & 11 e- in the neutral atom. This gives sodium one more electron than neon, the noble gas closest to it in the periodic table. What happens with Na to become more stable?
in losing one electron, sodium forms a cation with a +1 charge, which still has 11 protons, but now has only 10 electrons in its electron cloud (2 in first shell and 8 in 2nd shell).
1s22s22p63s1 → 1s22s22p6 (Na+)
26
Magnesium has two more electrons than neon, the noble gas closest to it in the periodic table. What happens with Mg in order to become more stable?
Mg has 2 valence electrons. Loss of these two valence electrons forms a magnesium cation, symbolized as Mg2+
1s22s22p63s2 → 1s22s22p6
27
What type of ions do metals form?
cations
28
Do cations change size from the atom they were when neutral?
Cations are smaller in size than the atoms from which they are formed because a cation has more protons than electrons, the positively charged nucleus pulls the remaining electrons closer.
29
What happens with chlorine in order to become more stable?
Neutral Cl has 17 electrons (one less electron than argon, the noble gas closest to it).
By gaining one electron, Cl forms an anion with a -1 charge (Cl-)
1s22s22p63s23p5 → 1s22s22p63s23p6
30
What type of ions are formed from nonmetals?
anions
*by gaining one, two, or sometimes three electrons, an atom forms an anion with a completely filled outer shell of electrons.*
31
Are anions larger or smaller than the atoms from which they are formed?
Larger, because an anion has more electrons than protons, the electrons are held less tightly by the positively charged nucleus, and the anion size is larger than the atom size.
32
how are ions written?
ions are written with the element symbol followed by a superscript to indicate the charge.
Na+, Mg2+, O2-
33
When is a main group element especially stable?

36
Because the number of protons equals the atomic number (quantity of p identifies the element). If the number of electrons is greater than the number of protons, the charge is negative (anion). If the number of protons is greater than the number of electrons, the charge is positive (cation). Write an ion symbol for an atom with 9 protons and 10 electrons.

These cations are especially stable because they have a filled outer shell of electrons, although they do **not** have an octet of electrons.

*Ionic compounds are composed of cations and anions*
59
The ions in an ionic compound are arranged to maximize the attractive force between the oppositely charged species. Give an example using NaCl.
In NaCl, each Na+ cation is surrounded by six Cl- anions, & each Cl- anion is surrounded by six Na+ cations.
In this way, the positively charged cations are located closer to the negatively charged anions and farther from the particles from which they are repelled - cations.
60

Zero
*(because a sodium cation has +1 charge and the chloride anion has -1 charge, there must be one Na+ cation for each Cl- anion; thus the formula is **NaCl**.)*
