|
|
How does a positive Ion form?
|
When an atom loses one or more valence eletorns in order to attain a noble gas configuration.
|
|
|
What is a Cation, and does it come before or after an anion in an equation?
|

|
|
|
True or False:
If an element loses an electron, it becomes a whole different element. |
False, it would just have a positive one in front of its origional name.
|
|
|
Describe what and why nonmetals are attracted to.
|
nonmetals are attacted to electrons so that they can form a stable outer electron configuration.
