Chemical Bonding

Which of these statements about a negative ion is true?

Remember: electrons are negative, protons are positive, neutrons are neutral

• It has an equal number of protons and electrons

• It has more protons than electrons

• It has more electrons than protons

What happens when sodium and chlorine atoms form sodium chloride?

Remember: sodium is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal

• An electron transfers from each sodium atom to each chlorine atom

• An electron transfers from each chlorine atom to each sodium atom

• Sodium and chlorine atoms share electrons
