Chemistry Midterm Review

Why does the element sodium (Na) readily form compounds? Select TWO correct answers.

• Sodium (Na) has just one valence electron which is easily lost.

• Group 1 elements are the least reactive and form compounds easily.

• Sodium (Na) is found in the most reactive period.

• Losing one electron creates a stable electron arrangement.

• Gaining one electron creates a stable electron arrangement.

Table salt, NaCl, is a common ionic compound. Sodium and chlorine are found in this form together primarily because —

• sodium is missing 1 valence electron needed to form a complete, stable octet shell

• chlorine has 1 additional valence electron it can give away in order to form a complete, stable octet shell

• sodium has 1 additional valence electron it can give away in order to form a complete, stable octet shell

• chlorine can accept 2 – 3 additional electrons per atom to form a stable octet shell
