Formation of Ions
-
Ions are charged particles, can be single atoms or groups of particles
-
When metals form ions, they lose electrons to form a positive ion
When non-metals form ions, they gain electrons to form negative ions
-
Ionic Bonding
-
When a metal and a non-metal react together, the metal atom loses electrons to form a positive charged ion, and the non-metal gains these electrons to form a negatively charged ion
