Lewis Dot
Element Note
Diagram
This element has its Lewis Dot diagram
completely full (eight valence electrons). It
Ne is called chemically stable. Note that 0
Valence electrons is also a chemically
stable configuration.
1. How many electrons does this element have in its outer energy level?
2. How many valence electrons does it take to make an element chemically stable?

A atom with a net positive or negative charge
F is called an ion. A negatively charged ion is
called an anion.
1. How many electrons does this element need to gain to achieve a stable configuration
(eight valence electrons)?
2. Each electron gained gives the atom a negative charge. What is the total negative charge -
for the element?

Note: A atom with a net positive or negative
Na charge is called an ion. A positively charged ion
is called a cation.
1. How many electrons does this element need to gain to lose a stable configuration (zero
valence electrons)?
2. Each electron lost gives the atom a positive charge. What is the total positive charge for +
the element is
