Modeling a chemical bond
Atoms that have a complete outermost energy level are stable. If there are empty holes, an
atom will either gain, lose, or share electrons with another atom in order to complete its
outermost level and become stable. When atoms gain, lose, or share electrons with another
atom, they form chemical bonds.
Using two atom building games, build a sodium atom and a chlorine atom. Put them next to
each other and answer the questions below.
a. In order to complete its outermost energy level, do you think sodium will tend to lose its
only valence electron, or gain seven? Explain your answer.
