Atomic reactions
Atoms take part in in chemical reactions to achieve a full outer shell of electrons which is very stable like group 0. They can achieve this by either losing gaining or sharing elections from the outer shell. If an atom loses or gains electrons, the numbers of protons and electrons are no longer equal and a charged ion is formed. The charge on the iron depends on the number of electrons lost losing one electron results plus one ion.
Positively charged ion
A cation
Negatively charged ion
Anion
Drawing ions
Square brackets
All electrons
Charge
When a non metal forms a ion
The name changes generally to -ide
Forming compounds
When a metal and a nonmetal react to form a compound transferring of electrons from the metal atom to the non-metal atom occurs
An IONIC bond is formed, which is the electrostatic attraction between the positive cation and negetive anion (negetively charged ions).
Ionic compounds and neutral they have no charge. This is because the positive ion charge cancels out the negative ion charge. The ratio of cation to anion is very important to ensure the positive and negative charges cancel
