Ionic and Covalent Bonds
2
Atoms that are not noble gases form octets
to become more stable
by losing, gaining, or sharing valence electrons
by forming ionic bonds or covalent bonds
Ionic bonds occur when atoms of one element lose valence electrons and the atoms of another element gain valence electrons.
Covalent bonds occur when nonmetal atoms share electrons to attain a noble gas arrangement.

The Octet Rule
3
An octet
• is eight valence electrons
• is associated with the stability of the noble gases
(except He)
The octet rule states that elements gain or lose electrons and become ions to attain noble gas arrangement. valence electrons

Metals Form Positive Ions
5
Metals form positive ions
by a loss of their valence electrons
with the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas
that have fewer electrons than protons

Solution
11
Write the formula and symbol of an ion with 16 protons and 18 electrons. The element with 16 protons is sulfur, with the symbol S.
An ion of sulfur with 18 electrons gives sulfur a charge of 2−.
The sulfide ion is S2−.
