Electron Affinity

Multiple Choice

What family has more electron affinity?

• Alkali Metals

• Halogens - Nonmetals

A charged atom (-/+)

Anions are negative because they gain an electron (e-)

​

Cations are positive because they lose an electron and have more protons (p+) than electrons.​

​

​ION

Multiple Choice

An anion has a positive charge?

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

A cation has a positive charge because their are more protons than electrons.

• True

• False

Ionic bond – a bond formed by the attraction between two oppositely charged ions.

​

Cation + Anion=Ionic Bond

Na gives its electron to Cl​ because it is a nonmetal and has a stronger attractionfor electrons.
