Document Summary

When an atom forms a cation , it loses electrons down to its noble gas core. Variable valence - when an atom can lose a variable number of electrons leg . Non - metals form octets with electron gain. Dots representing valence electrons are arranged around the element symbol. Represent a cation by removing the appropriate number of dots. Represent an anion by transferring atoms to complete its shell. There is a net lowering of energy ( ie exothermic ) Nat cl nacl is ) i . Oe : 494 kj/mol kgymo, y net e= 145 "jlmol. 7 ( net oe is positive b/c separated ions have a higher energy than neutral atoms. Nacl ( s) ge = - 787 kym , c- net oe= - 642 kj/mol. Energy is the difference in potential energy between a gas of ions and an ionic solid. All anions interact with all cations , all anions repel all cations repel.
