Chemical Bonding Story
Storyboard Text
- Hi, Sharky lets play an ionic bonding game. I will be sodium and you be chlorine.
- Ok, that sounds fun Jelly!
- Help, help, I am Jelly sodium and only have 1 valence electron, it makes me unstable!!!!
- Don’t worry Jelly sodium. I am Sharky chlorine, and I have 7 electrons. I am looking for 1 more valence electron. We can bond together and I will take your electron.
- So, Sharky chlorine, did you know that I am a metal with a positive charge and bonding with you a nonmetal with a negative charge, will balance us both?
- Wow, Jelly Chlorine, I didn’t know that. But I do know I now have a full valence shell of electrons, and you got rid of your electron hanging around your valence shell.
- Heres my 1 electron, Sharky chlorine.
- Thanks, Jelly sodium. I now have 8 valence electrons.
- Now, we are bonded together our name is Jelly sodium Sharky chloride. Our positive and negative charges attract and form and ionic bond.
- So, Sharky Chlorine, how did you like the ionic bonding game?
- I loved it, Jelly sodium. I learned that sodium is a unstable metal with 1 valence electron and needs to bond with chlorine that is a positive nonmetal with 7 valence electrons to become stable. Together they become sodium chloride.
- Thanks, Jelly sodium! Now we are both stable with an even amount of elections. I now have 8 and you have 0.
