Answer:

Ions are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule and have full outer valence electron shells. When they lose electrons, they become positively charged and are named cations. When they gain electrons, they are negatively charged and are named anions.

Answer:

An ion is a particle with a positive or negative charge. A valence electron is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom.

earnstyle [38]
It need "3 electrons" to have a stable electronic configuration. 

'cause it has 5 electrons in it's outer shell & every atom needs 8 electrons. So, it requires 3 more!

Hope this helps!

What does the sun do to generate energy?
Kruka [31]
Within the core of the Sun, temperatures and pressures are high enough to fuse hydrogen atoms into helium, which is the Sun's main form of energy production. Assuming there was a slight mistake in where you have copied the results here the correct answer is the third option.
Hope this helps!
