An atom would want to lose an electron in order to become stable.
What is an atom that is "less than half full"?
The ion for antimony (Sb) is negative 3.
What is an "anion"?
These are the families on the periodic table who always lose electrons and are always positive.
What are families "1, 2, and 3"?
What is a the cation Li+1
Charged particles that form when atoms gain or lose electrons
What is the Anion O -2
A bond that forms when valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
This model of the atom uses only the valence electrons its diagram.
What is the cation B +3
This is where a chemical bond takes place.
What is "between valence electrons"?
