Ions and Ionic Compounds
Name: ________________________________ Date: _____
1. During the formation of an ion, what subatomic particle is removed or added to a neutral atom?
2. Define and give examples of each of the following:
a. Cation
b. Anion
c. Polyatomic Ion
3. Noble gases are stable and do not easily ionize because they have an electron configuration that is stable.
Based on this information, provide an explanation of why oxygen most commonly gains two electrons to
form a -2 anion, and why sodium most often loses one electron to form a +1 cation.
4. What is an ionic compound? How is it formed?
5. How are molecular compounds different from ionic compounds?
