Back

A valence electron is an electron in the outermost shell of an atom that can participate in forming bonds.

Front

What is the charge of a negative ion?

Back

Negative ion has a negative charge due to the gain of one or more electrons.

Front

What is the charge of a positive ion?

Back

Positive ion has a positive charge due to the loss of one or more electrons.
