How do atoms form ions

Chemistry
1 answer:
Cerrena [4.2K]3 years ago
5 0
Ions are electrically charged particles formed when atoms lose or gain electrons. They have the same electronic structures as noble gases. Metal atoms form positive ions, while non-metal atoms form negative ions. The strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions are called ionic bonds.

What does the chemical formula show?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

You can eliminate C because you need to consult a periodic table to determine the mass (not the weight).

There are other answers you could use. The wording is awfully sloppy.  D is an example of that. The elements part is true, the atoms part is not really true in all cases.  For example NaCl is table salt and both the elements are ions, not atoms. Na is plus ion and Cl is minus one. B is wrong for the same reason.

I think in the end I would choose A.  I think this is a very sly question. It is not really testing chemistry. It is testing how well you know your definitions.
