If I gain electrons I become

• Positive because I've added to my atom
• negative because I've added electrons

Ionic bonds form between two ions that have...

• ionic compounds
• negative charges
• positive charges
• opposite charges

Which is most likely to form a negative ion...

• an element from Group 7

• a metal
• an element from Group 1
• an element with atoms that have eight valence electrons

A(n) _____________ is an atom or group of atoms that has an electric charge. 

• ion
• electron

Why do ionic bonds form?

• so the number of protons equals the number of electrons

• to fill the outermost energy level to make the atom stable

• so an atom can become unstable
