Study Notes
Sharing Markers
- Nate has 9 markers, Clara has 7; to have a full set of 8, Nate gives 1 marker to Clara.
- Maggie has 10 markers, Fred and Florence each have 7; to equal 8 markers for all, Maggie gives 1 marker each to Fred and Florence.
Valence Electrons
- Sodium has 1 valence electron, while chlorine has 7 valence electrons.
- Generally, atoms with stable configurations have a full set of 8 valence electrons, following the octet rule.
Atomic Composition
- Sodium atom contains a total of 11 electrons; thus, it has 11 protons, making it neutrally charged.
- Chlorine atom comprises 17 electrons, therefore it has 17 protons, also neutrally charged.
Ion Formation
- When an electron is transferred from sodium (metal) to chlorine (nonmetal), sodium becomes a positive ion (1+) and chlorine becomes a negative ion (1-).
Element Classification
- Sodium is categorized as a metal.
- Chlorine is identified as a nonmetal.
Charge Calculation
- The charge of an atom can be calculated by subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons.
- After transferring an electron, sodium’s charge is 1+ and chlorine’s charge is 1-.
