OBJ 4.7-4.9 Valence Electrons & Dot Diagrams
If you answer all the Qs and earn at least a 70% then you'll get a full 10/10. It's better to guess than skip

OBJ 4.7: Explain where valence electrons are located within an atom
The electrons in the outermost energy level are most important for bonding and a chemical reactions
These electrons are called valence electrons.
3
Poll
What are valence electrons?
Electrons in the outermost energy level
Responsible for chemical reactions and bonding
Electrons in the inside the nucleus
Not important in chemistry
4
What are valence electrons?
Valence electrons: the electrons located in the outermost energy level of an atom
Responsible for the chemical reactions between elements that form molecules.
5
Multiple Choice
Where are valence electrons?
In the nucleus
In the last energy level
In the first energy level
Not in an atom
6
Using Bohr Notation
The last number represents the number of valence electrons
An atom can have 1-8 Valence electrons (for now)
Example: Nitrogen 2-5
How many valence elctrons?
5!

OBJ 4.8: Identify the number of valence electrons in a neutral atom using the periodic table
As we know, the periodic table has patterns
We can use these patterns and the "A" group numbers to determine how many valence electrons are in a neutral element
10

Open Ended
What pattern did you notice?
12
Recognizing Patterns
How do we determine the number of valence electrons in a neutral atom?
For all elements located in the “A” groups:
The number in front of the A is equal to the number of valence electrons.
the group “A” number = # of valence e-

OBJ 4.9: Draw Lewis dot structures for atoms
What is a Lewis Dot Structure / Electron Dot Diagram?
a picture representation of an element and its valence electrons
Each dot represents one valence electron

Multiple Choice
Nitrogen is in group 5A so it has 5 valence elctrons. How many dots will be needed for the Lewis Dot Structure?
5

Nitrogen
5 valence electrons = 5 dots
4 locations for electrons
Fill the "empty" space first, then pair up after

Multiple Choice
Sulfur is in group 6A. Which is the correct Lewis Dot Structure?
21
22
Helium: the "exception"
How many total electrons does helium have?
23
Open Ended
Helium has an atomic number of 2. It is located in group 8A. How many valence electrons do you think it has?
24
Helium
Helium has 2 electrons. So it only has 2 valence electrons.
Elements in group 8A have full orbitals / shells
All other elements in group 8A are said to have an "octet" 8 electrons
Think: 2s2 + 2p6 = 8 electrons
There is only one orbital in the first energy level (1s)
Helium is called a "duet"
25
Poll
Goals of today. Check off the box(es) that apply.
I can explain what/where valence electrons are
I can use the periodic table to identify the number of valence electrons in an element
I can draw Lewis Structures for an element
I cannot do any of the above
