Activity 3
Bonding by Transfer of Electrons

Objectives:

Materials:
Periodic Table of Elements

Procedure:
1. Select a metallic and a non-metallic element. Write the Lewis
Symbol of the selected elements. Take note of the electronegativity
value of both elements. Subtract the electronegativity value of the
metallic element from the non-metallic element.

2. With the use of an arrow, show the complete transfer of electrons.

.
3. Indicate the formation of cation and anion.

After ionic bonding, sodium (Na) became isoelectronic with neon (Ne)
while chlorine became isoelectronic with argon (Ar), thus both sodium and
chlorine attained stability.
Isoelectronic means sodium (Na) attain the same electronic configuration
with neon (Ne) and in the case of chlorine it acquired the same configuration
with that of argon (Ar). Thus, both of them become stable.
 4. Make 5 combinations that will result to ionic bonding by following steps 1-
3.

Questions:

Q1. What kind of element forms cation after ionic bonding?

Q2. What kind of element forms anion after ionic bonding?

Q3. Why do ions form after ionic bonding?

Q4. Did the atoms attain stability after ionic bonding? Explain you answer.

Q5. How can you tell that ionic bonding will take place between metals and
non- metals?

Q6. Will all combinations of metals and non-metals form ionic bond? Why?
