Homework is not collected or graded, but should be worked on seriously every week.

Part A: Ions and Ionic Bonding

1. Complete the following statements by circling the appropriate response.


Nonmetal atoms lose / gain electrons and become negative / positive ions called cations / anions.
Metal atoms lose / gain electrons and become negative / positive ions called cations / anions.

2. All the halogens form anions with a –1 charge. Why does this occur? Why not a –2 or a +1 charge?

3. All the alkaline earth metals form cations with a +2 charge. Why does this occur? Why not a –1 or a +3
charge?
