The Formation of NON - METAL IONS 1. Ions are atoms or groups of atoms that have lost or gained 2. They are . atoms or groups of atoms. 3. Atoms or electrons to acquire a full set of electrons. 4. Atoms become ions during a chemical . Non - Metal Ions Non - metals in Group Seven of the Periodic Table Fluorine ATOM Fluoride ION Fluorine atom symbol Fluoride ion symbol Electron arrangement Electron arrangement No. of protons: No. of electrons: No. of protons: No. of electrons: Fluorine has ______ outer electron. When fluorine forms an ion it ________ one electron and so forms a -1 ion. A fluoride ion has full shells of electrons. Non - metals in Group Six of the Periodic Table Oxygen ATOM Oxide ION Oxygen atom symbol Oxide ion symbol Electron arrangement Electron arrangement No. of protons: No. of electrons: No. of protons: No. of electrons: Oxygen has ______ outer electrons. When oxygen forms an ion it _______ two electrons and so forms a -2 ion. An oxide ion has full shells of electrons. Non - metals in Group Five of the Periodic Table Nitrogen ATOM Nitride ION Nitrogen atom symbol Nitride ion symbol Electron arrangement Electron arrangement No. of protons: No. of electrons: No. of protons: No. of electrons: Nitrogen has ______ outer electrons. When nitrogen forms an ion it _______ three electrons and so forms a -3 ion. A nitride ion has full shells of electrons. Summary 1. Non – metals form __________________ ions. 2. Group 7 non - metals form ions because they gain electron to gain a ions because they gain electrons to gain a ions because they gain electrons to gain a full set of electrons. 3. Group 6 non - metals form full set of electrons. 4. Group 5 non - metals form full set of electrons.
