1.4 Chemical Bonding

Which of the following best describes ions?

• Atoms that have a neutral charge

• Atoms of the same element with a different number neutrons

• Atoms that have a different mass

• Atoms that have lost or gained electrons

A theory that states atoms tend to combine in such a way that they each have 8 electrons in their valence shell is known as

• The Atomic Theory

• The Octet Rule

• The Valence Electron Rule

• The Law of Conservation of Mass
