Consider Mg²+ and 02. Which do you predict is larger and why? 1. Mg²+ is larger because magnesium is farther to the left and farther down the periodic table than oxygen. 2. Mg²+ is larger because it contains more electrons so there are more electron-electron repulsions 3. Mg²+ and O²- are the same size because they both contain the same number of electrons so there is the same amount of electron-electron repulsion. 4. 0²- is larger because anions are always larger than cations. 5.0²- is larger because less protons are attracting the same number of electrons as Mg²+. ооооо

If we say that electrons travel around the nucleus of an atom in rings or shells, we can assign that ring a limit on how many electrons they can carry. We say that the ring that surrounds the nucleus has room for 2 electrons, then each ring after that has room for 8 electrons. The outer most ring is called the valence ring or valance shell and may or may not be full. Realistically, this might not be the most accurate way to diagramming electron distribution, but it helps us to see why they are where they are on the table and why they bond the way that they do. It also helps us establish the Group number at the top of each column. Let’s look at Carbon (C) – Given that C has an atomic number of 6: How many protons does it have? D How many electrons does it have? E How many are in the first ring? F Second ring? G Draw the number of electrons around each of these elements on your periodic table. What…

A group of students at College of the Canyons conducted an experiment. Two reactors contained different reagents. Reactor 1: sodium metal + argon gas Reactor 2: sodium metal + chlorine gas When the reactor was heated, reactor 1 did not show a chemical reaction between the sodium metal and argon gas. However, reactor 2 showed a vigorous reaction between sodium metal and chlorine gas to form sodium chloride at the same reaction condition. A) Write the electron configurations (noble-gas core notation) each for argon and chlorine atom. Ar: ____________________ Cl: _____________________ B) Explain the difference in the reactivity of the gases with sodium metal. Hint: Use the electron configurations in A).
