An ion is an atom or molecule which has lost or gained one or more valence electrons, giving it a positive or negative electrical charge
Ions are formed by the loss or gain of electrons by single atoms or groups of atoms.

4. What is an ATOM? An ATOM is the smallest component of an element having the chemical properties of the element www.sciencetutors.zoomshare.com
5. Definition of a Neutral Atom An atom with an equal number of protons and electrons is electrically neutral. No. of Proton(+) = No. of Electron (-) (+ ve charge will neutralize – ve charge) if they are equal. www.sciencetutors.zoomshare.com

11. Valence Electrons A Valence electron is an electron in the outer shell of an atom which can combine with other atoms to form molecules Copy and complete the table shown below www.sciencetutors.zoomshare.com Element Atomic Number Configuration Valence Sodium 11 Chlorine 17 Magnesium 12 Phosphorus 15
12. Electron Gain or Loss Ions are formed when electrons are gained on transferred (lost) www.sciencetutors.zoomshare.com Atom Atomic No. Electron Configuration Electron Gain/Loss Positive Ion Negative Ion Sodium 11 2, 8, 1 Loss = 1 Na+ Potassium 19 2, 8, 8, 1 Loss = 1 K+ Chlorine 17 2, 8, 7 Gain = 1 Cl - Fluorine 9 2, 7 Gain = 1 F-
