There are 8 markers in a set. Nate has 9 markers andClara has 7. What can Nate and Clara do so that each of them has a full set?Nate can give Clara an extra marker so they canbothhave a full set.Thereare 8 markers in a setand Nana has 9 and Clara has 7 which means that Nana has an extra marker so she can give herextra onetoClara.2.Maggie is sitting at a table with Fred and Florence. Maggie has 10 markers, but Fred and Florence eachhave only 7 markers. How can they share markers so each has 8?Maggie can give a marker to each Florence and Fred and they can share the rest of the markers.Gizmo Warm-upJust like students sharing markers, atoms sometimes share or swap electrons. By doing this, atoms formbonds. TheIonicBondsGizmo allows you to explore howionic bondsform.To begin, check thatSodium (Na)andChlorine(Cl) are selected fromthemenus at right. Click Play (* ) to see electrons orbiting the nucleus of eachatom. (Note: These atom models are simplified and not meant to be realistic.)1.Each atom consists of a central nucleus and several shells that containelectrons. The outermost electrons are called valence electrons.How many valence electrons does each atom have? Sodium:1Chlorine:72.ClickPause ( "). Elements canbeclassified asmetalsand nonmetalsMetals do not hold on to theirvalence electrons very tightly, while nonmetals hold their electrons tightly.Electronaffinityis a measure ofhow tightly the valence electrons are held.Reproduction Tw EdLnational use only.
