Bonding 3 (simple And Polyatomic Ions) Flashcards
A simple ion is formed from
A single ion
Simple ions are atoms in groups _ of periodic table (2)
1
2
Simple ions (groups 1,2) _ easily
Lose their electrons
The reason simple ions lose electrons easily is because it is easy to
Lose one or two electrons to gain a full valence shell
Simple ions (h,li)
Hydrogen
Lithium
Simple ions (Na,k)
Sodium
Potassium
Simple ions (Be,Mg)
Beryllium
Magnesium
Simple ions (Ca)
Calcium
A polyatomic ion is formed when
Two or more atoms join together
