LG: I can explain how atoms form ions and write ion symbols for the
first 20 elements
Ions• What is an ion?
– An ion is an atom that has lost or gained electrons– If an atoms loses electrons it has a positive charge– If an atoms gains electrons it has a negative charge
• Why do ions form?– Atoms gain or lose electrons to get a full valence shell…to become
STABLE
• How do you know if an atom will gain or lose electrons to form an ion?– Atoms will GAIN electrons if their valence shell is mostly FULL– Atoms will LOSE electrons if their valence shell is mostly EMPTY

11-20 (yesterday’s handout)• By looking at the valence electrons, decide whether
each atom would gain or lose electrons, and how many, to form an ion
• In the empty space at the bottom of the handout:– Write ion symbols for the first 20 elements– Explain what the elements in the same column have in
common– What is special about Carbon and Silicon?
The Periodic Table!
LG: I can describe the location and properties of chemical families
Modern Periodic Table
• Established by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1871• He grouped elements with similar physical and
chemical properties• These groups are called FAMILIES• Elements are also divided into two big groups:
Metals and Non Metals
Periodic Table Organization
• Metals are on the left and nonmetals on the right
Chemical Families• Alkali Metals - Group 1– Soft, shiny, react with water, form +1 ions
Chemical Families• Alkaline Earth Metals – Group 2– Somewhat soft, some are shiny, react with water, form +2 ions
Chemical Families
• Halogens – Group 17– Gases/liquids/solids, nonmetals, very reactive,
form -1 ions
Chemical Families
• Noble Gases - Group 18– All gases, un-reactive (full valence shell)
Chemical Families
• Metalloids - Staircase– Some properties of metals and some properties of
nonmetals
