Question 1

when are ions formed?

Answer 1

atoms gain or loose electrons giving them an overall change.

Question 2

how many electrons do they have in their outer shell?

Answer 2

full outer shell.

Question 3

what does ionic bonding involve?

Answer 3

transfer of electrons form metal atoms to non-metal atoms.

Question 4

what happens to the metal atoms during ionic bonding and the outcome?

Answer 4

lose electrons to become positively charged ions.

Question 5

what happens to non-metal atoms during ionic bonding and the outcome?

Answer 5

gain electrons to become negatively charge ions.

Question 6

in an ionic bond what is the force that is involved called and what is it between?

Answer 6

electrostatic force of attraction.
positive metal ion and negative non-metal ion.
