At the end of this section, you should be able to:
• describe the stable electronic configuration of
a noble gas.

3
6.1

The Stable Electronic Configuration
of a Noble Gas
What are Noble Gases?
• Elements that belong to Group 0 of the
Periodic Table
• Examples: He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Rn
• Atoms of noble gases are stable and
unreactive.
• They exist in nature as single atoms.
4
6.1

The Stable Electronic Configuration
of a Noble Gas
What is the Noble Gas Structure?
• Noble gases have full or complete outer shells.

Helium has a duplet configuration
(2 outer electrons).

All other noble gases have an octet configuration
(8 outer electrons).

5
6.1

The Stable Electronic Configuration
of a Noble Gas

Why Do Atoms React?
• Atoms of most other elements are reactive
because they do not have the noble gas structure
(i.e. their outer shells are not fully-filled).
• Atoms of these elements lose, gain or share
outer electrons to attain the noble gas
configuration and form compounds.

and negative ions (anions) to achieve the noble
gas configuration.

9
6.2 Forming Ions
What is an Ion?
Recall:
Atoms have an equal number of
protons and electrons. They are
electrically neutral.

• An atom loses or gains electrons to form ions.
• Ions are charged particles.
No. of electrons ≠ No. of protons

10
6.2 Forming Ions

What is an Ion?
•
•

Positively-charged ions are called cations.

•

URL

Ions can be positively- or negatively-charged.

Negatively-charged ions are called anions.

11

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Provide a brief introduction to the idea of noble gases. Have students recall from Chapter 4 that neon, which is a noble gas, is monoatomic. Have students recognise that noble gases exist in the monoatomic state.
  2. State that noble gases are inert, i.e. their atoms do not combine with other atoms. Have students understand that the 8 electrons in the outer shell (2 in the case of helium) makes the atoms stable and, therefore, inert. A duplet or octet configuration is also known as a noble gas configuration. Ask students why atoms of other elements react with one another. Lead them to understand that atoms of other elements react in order to achieve the stable noble gas structure.
  3. Briefly introduce the two types of bonding.
  4. Define Ions as charged particles formed when atoms lose or gain electrons.
  5. Some students may have the misconception that when an ion gains an electron, it becomes positive and vice versa. Highlight to them that electrons are negatively charged, so when an atom gains an electron, a negative ion is formed. Clicking on the URL button will link you to <http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/add_aqa/atomic/ionicact.shtml>, a website with an interactive animation introducing the formation of ions and ionic bonds. (The video is approximately 3.5 minutes long.)
  6. Mention that cations have a stable octet configuration in their outer shells.
  7. Ask students to identify the noble gas configuration achieved by the sodium ion in its outer shell.
  8. Ask students if they can identify the noble gas configuration of each ion, i.e. sodium ion has neon’s electronic configuration, calcium ion has argon’s electronic configuration. Highlight to students that although the ions have the same electronic configuration as noble gases, they are not the same. For example, although sodium ion has the same configuration (2, 8) as neon, they are not identical particles because sodium ion has 11 protons, whereas neon has 10 protons.
  9. Mention that anions have a stable octet configuration in their outer shells.
  10. Ask students to identify the noble gas electronic configuration achieved by the chloride ion in its outer shell. Emphasise that chlorine forms a chloride ion, not a chlorine ion.
  11. Ask students if they can identify the noble gas configuration of each ion, e.g. chloride ion has argon’s electronic configuration.
  12. Ask students: What is another name for positive ions? What is another name for negative ions? Get students to recall that a metallic atom loses electron(s) to form a positive ion while a non-metallic atom gains electron(s) to form a negative ion. The oppositely charged ions are then held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction. Recap: Why do atoms form ions? Answer: To achieve stable noble gas electronic configuration
  13. Get students to identify the metal and non-metal elements in sodium chloride. Sodium is the metal, chlorine is the non-metal.
  14. Clicking on the URL button will link you to <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqjcCvzWwww&NR=1>, a website with a video on chemical bonding. The first part of the video (up till 0.51 seconds) can be used to demonstrate ionic bonding. The second part of the video (0.52 seconds onwards) may be used to demonstrate covalent bonding. Alternative resource: Go to <http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/add_aqa/atomic/ionicrev4.shtml>, a website with an animation on ionic bonding of sodium chloride, magnesium oxide and calcium chloride.
  15. Explain that although ions are charged particles, the compounds they form are neutral. Thus, we can infer that the positive and negative charges must be balanced.
  16. When writing chemical formulae of ionic compounds, the metal is usually written first. When there is only 1 of each ion, the subscript ‘1’ is not written. E.g. MgO and not Mg1O1
  17. Highlight to students that polyatomic ions need to be enclosed within brackets when there is a subscript (in the case where there is more than one polyatomic ion).
  18. Usually, the simplest set of whole numbers is written, e.g. CaCO3 and not Ca2(CO3)2. However, there are exceptions, e.g. H2O2 and N2O4. Clicking on the URL button will link you to <http://www.learner.org/interactives/periodic/groups_interactive.html>, a website with an interactive game on ionic bonding. Students will get to match different ions to form compounds and see how well they score. (Note: There is an error in the description of aluminium phosphate – its chemical formula should be AlPO4, not AlPO2.)
  19. The giant ionic structure is held together very tightly due to the strong electrostatic forces between the oppositely charged ions.
  20. Another representation of the 3-D arrangement of Na+ and Cl− ions
  21. Ionic compounds have a giant lattice structure, which is held very tightly by strong attractive forces. A large amount of energy is required to overcome these forces to change an ionic compound from the solid state to the liquid state. Therefore, ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points and are solids at r.t.p.
  22. Clicking on the URL button will link you to <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBfGcTAJF4o&feature=related>, a website with a video simulation on how water molecules “pull” the positive and negative ions in an ionic compound away from each other.
  23. Sodium chloride does not conduct electricity in the solid state, but it can conduct in the molten and aqueous states.
  24. A salt in the solid state, as shown earlier, has its ions held rigidly in fixed positions. It does not conduct electricity simply because the ions cannot move around. However, if we take the salt and dissolve it in water, the water molecules will pull the positive and negative ions away from each other. As a result, the ions will be free to move around to conduct electricity. Similarly, in the molten state, the ions will overcome some of the attractive forces between them and be free to move around. The presence of mobile ions enables electricity to be conducted.
