Subject : Chemistry
Unit : Atoms, Elements and
Compounds
 Lesson Objectives
To identify the valency and valence electron.
To explain bonding in terms of electron transfer
between atoms.
Explain the properties of ionic compounds.
 Match the following
Na 2,8,8
Na+ 2,8
Ca2+ 2,8,
O2- 2,8,1
1. The combining capacity of an element is called
valency.

2. Valence electrons are those electrons which are

present in the outermost orbit of the atom.

3. Oxidation state shows the total number of

electrons which have been removed from an element
(a positive oxidation state) or added to an element (a
negative oxidation state) to get to its present state.

 GENERAL PROPERTIES OF IONIC COMPOUNDS:

General Properties of ionic compounds:

General properties of ionic compounds:

• Ionic compounds are solids.

• High melting and boiling point.
• Usually soluble in water and insoluble in organic solvents
such as petrol, kerosene etc..
• Conduct electricity when molten or dissolved in water.
 Task
Task 1: Draw a table and write the valences and oxidation
states for elements from Group 1 to 8.

Task 2: Identify the elements that can form ionic compounds

between each other.

Task 3: Research more about properties of ionic compounds.
