Atomic Dating Game Directions: Atoms are lonely hearts that are constantly in search of partners to bring stability to their lives. Your job is to play matchmaker and make each atom stable by determining how many valence electrons each element needs and finding a partner that will complete the valence energy level. Let\'s meet our first bachelor, Mr. Sodium. Mr. Sodium is very lustrous but has an metals, is looking personality when he gets near water or oxygen. He is quite a lonely metal that, like all to lose a few electrons! Since he is reactive... careful who you pick to be his date! highly be In the circle below, complete the shell model of Mr.Sodium.

Solution

Solution:
1)
Sodium(Na)
Atomic No.- 11
Valence electron-1

Fluorine(F)
Atomic No. - 9
Valence electron- 7

Mr. Sodium(Na)should date Ms. Fluorine(F)because sodium have one extra electron even after completing its octet.On the other hand,fluorine need one electron to complete its octet.Fluorine have seven electrons in its outermost shell.So,Na can lose its extra electron easily to F.

2)
Oxygen(O)
Atomic No.-8
Valence electron-6

Magnesium(Mg)
Atomic No. - 12
Valence electron- 2

Ms. Oxygen(O)should date Mr. Magnesium(Mg)because oxygen atom have six valence electron in its outermost shell and it need two electron to complete their octet.On the other hand,Magnesium have two electrons in its outermost shell.So,oxygen atom can complete its requirement of two atom to complete its octet from magnesium.

3)
Neon(Ne)
Atomic No. - 10
It is a noble gas.It is very less reactive because it have complete octet and not required any electron.It does not form compound with any other element.
