How Atoms Turn Into Ions by Adding or Losing Electrons

A comprehensive guide to ion formation and ionic compounds, focusing on how atoms become ions by gaining or losing electrons and their role in chemical bonding.

  • Atoms achieve stability through understanding positive and negative ions formation by gaining or losing electrons to achieve full outer shells
  • The process involves the transfer of electrons between metals and non-metals, creating charged particles called ions
  • Empirical formula calculation for ionic compounds follows a systematic approach of balancing charges
  • Different groups of elements form predictable ion types based on their electron configurations
  • Both ionic and covalent bonding play crucial roles in compound formation, with distinct properties and behaviors

Page 2: Formation of Positive and Negative Ions

This page delves into the specific processes of forming positive and negative ions, using sodium and chlorine as key examples.

Definition: Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons.

Example: Sodium NaNa loses one electron to form Na+ with a charge of +1, while chlorine gains an electron to form Cl- with a charge of -1.

Highlight: Non-metal atoms typically form negative ions by gaining electrons to achieve a full outer shell.

Page 3: Group Trends in Ion Formation

The third page explores how different groups of elements form characteristic ions and introduces compound ions.

Highlight: Elements in Groups 1, 2, 6, and 7 form ions with full outer shells, similar to noble gas configurations.

Vocabulary: Compound ions are groups of atoms that carry an electrical charge together.

Example: The oxide ion O2−O²⁻ forms when oxygen gains two electrons, resulting in 10 electrons total.

Page 4: Empirical Formula Calculation

This page outlines the systematic approach to determining empirical formulas for ionic compounds.

Definition: The empirical formula represents the simplest whole-number ratio of ions in an ionic compound.

Example: For potassium iodide KIKI, the 1:1 ratio of K+ to I- ions results in the empirical formula KI.

Highlight: The total positive and negative charges must balance to zero in any ionic compound.

Page 5: Comparing Chemical Bonds

The final page compares different types of chemical bonding and their properties.

Definition: Ionic bonding occurs between metals and non-metals, while covalent bonding occurs between non-metals only.

Highlight: Ionic compounds conduct electricity only when melted or dissolved, while covalent compounds typically don't conduct electricity.

Example: Water H2OH₂O and carbon dioxide CO2CO₂ are examples of covalent compounds that don't conduct electricity due to the absence of free charged particles.

Page 1: Introduction to Ions and Atomic Structure

The first page introduces fundamental concepts about atomic structure and ion formation. It explains how atoms transition from neutral particles to charged ions through electron transfer.

Definition: An ion is an atom or group of atoms that carries an electrical charge, either positive or negative.

Highlight: Atoms naturally seek stability by achieving full outer electron shells through gaining or losing electrons.

Example: Lithium, a Group 1 metal, loses one electron to form a Li+ ion with a stable electronic configuration of 22.

Vocabulary: Cation - A positively charged ion formed when an atom loses electrons.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
