Answer» HEY MATE,LET ME HELP U WITH IT!!! Ions are FORMED by atoms that have non-full outermost ELECTRON shells in order to become more LIKE the noble gases in Group 8 of the Periodic Table . Some atoms add electrons to get a full shell, thus becoming a negative ion. Other atoms subtract electrons from their outermost shell, leaving a full shell and an overall positive CHARGE on the ion. In the previous section, we saw that atoms with fewer than 4 electrons in their outermost shell tend to form positive ions, and those with more than 4 electrons tend to form negative ions. Ionic bonds form when atoms transfer electrons between each other, forming ions that are electrically attracted to each other forming a bond between them. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a typical ionic compound. |
