Section 1: Ion Formation

Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose valence electrons to


achieve a stable octet electron configuration.

Valence Electrons and Chemical Bonds
• A chemical bond is the force that holds two atoms together.
• Chemical bonds form by the attraction between the positive nucleus
of one atom and the negative electrons of another atom.
• Atom’s try to form the octet—the stable arrangement of eight
valence electrons in the outer energy level—by gaining or losing
valence electrons.

Positive Ion Formation
• A positively charged ion is called a
cation.
• This figure illustrates how sodium
loses one valence electron to become
a sodium cation.

Metal Ions
• Metals are reactive because they lose valence electrons easily.
This table summarizes the ions formed by metal ions in groups 1,
2, and 13.

Transition Metal Ions
• Transition metals commonly form 2+ or 3+ ions, but can form
greater than 3+ ions. Other relatively stable electron
arrangements are referred to as pseudo-noble gas configurations.

Negative Ion Formation
• An anion is a negatively charged ion.
• The figure shown here illustrates chlorine
gaining an electron to become a chlorine
ion.
• As shown in the table below, nonmetal
ions gain the number of electrons required
to fill an octet.
• Some nonmetals can gain or lose other
numbers of electrons to complete an
octet.
