ion definition
An atom that has electrical charge + or -
Do metals form positive or negative ions
Positive ions
Do non metals form positive or negative ions
Negative
How are ions formed
Atoms with incomplete outer shells need to gain or loose electrons to become stable to make a positive or negative ion
