Ion
|
a charged particle that results from when electrons are added or removed from a neutral atom
|
|
|
LEO-GER (Leo goes grrr)
|
(just to help remember)
Loss of- Electrons- is Oxidation Gain of- Electrons- is Reduction |
|
|
Metals tend to (lose/gain) their electrons and undergo (oxidation/reduction)
|
lose
oxidation |
|
|
Nonmetals tend to (lose/gain) their electrons and undergo (oxidation/reduction)
|
gain
reduction |
|
|
Anion
|
a negatively charged ion= #e- > #p+
|
|
|
Cation
|
a positively charged ion= #e- < #p+
|
|
|
Ex. Show the process of when Neutral Sodium loses an electron to become Na+
|
ex. Na ---> Na+ + e-
|
|
|
Ionic Bonding
|
the force of attraction between oppositely charged ions (cations and anions)
|
|
|
Monoatomic Ions
|
ions containing only one atom
ex. Mg^+, S^2-, P^3-, Fe^3+ |
|
|
Polyatomic Ions
|
ions that contain more than one atom- these ions are composed of two or more atoms linked by the same kinds of bonds that hold molecules together- the difference is that they contain either too many or too few electrons to make them electrically neutral
ex. CN^-, NO3^- |
