How Atoms Turn Into Ions by Adding or Losing Electrons
Mehak
@mehakrani_2008
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 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 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 , 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 and carbon dioxide 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 .
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.

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.

Best app on earth! no words because it’s too good

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

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.

very reliable app to help and grow your ideas of Maths, English and other related topics in your works. please use this app if your struggling in areas, this app is key for that. wish I'd of done a review before. and it's also free so don't worry about that.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

This apps acc the goat. I find revision so boring but this app makes it so easy to organize it all and then you can ask the freeeee ai to test yourself so good and you can easily upload your own stuff. highly recommend as someone taking mocks now
