Ionic bonding
4. Which type of atom will always lose valance electrons to become an ion?
5. Which type of atom will always gain valance electrons to become an ion?
6. Draw the electron dot structures showing the transfer of electrons that occurs when the
following form ionic compounds:
1. Decide how many electrons are in the outer shell of each atom and mark them on.
2. Show how the electrons are transferred.
3. Show how many electrons the ions now have.
4. Work out the charge on each ion.
Example: Sodium /2)8)1)/ and Fluorine /2)7)/ - Chemical formula is Na +F-
Carbon
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Fluorine
Neon
Sulfur
