atoms are electrically…
neutral
why are atoms electrically ____
Because there is the same number of protons (+) and electrons (-).
ions are groups of atoms with a charge because
They have different numbers of protons and electrons.
anion
negative ion; formed by gained electron
cation
positive ion; formed by losing electrons
(Predicting Ionic Charges) Group 1A
lose 1 electron to form 1+ ions
(Predicting Ionic Charges) Group 2A
loses 2 electrons to from 2+ ions
(Predicting Ionic Charges) group 3a
loses 3 electrons to form 3+ ions
(Predicting Ionic Charges) group 4a
can be a positive or negative charge (4+ or 4-) so I need to look at chart to determine the charge
(Predicting Ionic Charges) group 5a
gains 3 electrons to form 3- electrons
(Predicting Ionic Charges) group 6a
gains 2 electrons to form 2- electrons
(Predicting Ionic Charges) group 7a
gains 1 electron to form 1- ions
(Predicting Ionic Charges) group 8a
noble gasses no charge!!!!!!!!!!
(Predicting Ionic Charges)
Many transition elements have more than one possible oxidation state. Use roman numerals to show charges
