Chapter 2, Problem 2FTB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The given blank space in the statement, “an atom that has lost or gained one or more electrons is called a(n) ________. If an atom loses an electron it takes on a(n) ________ charge. Atoms with opposite charges attract one another, forming ________ bonds.”
Introduction:
Atoms are the smallest units present in all the elements. Many atoms combine together to form molecules and elements. These atoms are linked together by ionic bonds, covalent bonds or hydrogen bonds.

- A. The first shell corresponds to the first energy level, and it can hold up to 2 electrons. Hydrogen has one proton, so it has 1 electron and one vacancy. A helium atom has 2 protons, 2 electrons, and no vacancies. B. The second shell corresponds to the second energy level, and it can hold up to 8 electrons. Carbon has 6 electrons, so its first shell is full. Its second shell has 4 electrons and four vacancies. Oxygen has 8 electrons and two vacancies. Neon has 10 electrons and no vacancies. C. The third shell corresponds to the third energy level, and it can hold up to 8 electrons. A sodium atom has 11 electrons, so its first two shells are full; the third shell has one electron. Thus, sodium has seven vacancies. Chlorine has 17 electrons and one vacancy. Argon has 18 electrons and no vacancies.
