Atomic Structure, Ions, and Isotopes

Positive ions form when atoms _________ valence electrons.

• lose
• gain
• share
• gain or share

What charge does an atom have if it LOSES an electron? 

• Positive (+)
• Negative (-)

When an atom LOSES an electron it is a

• cation
• anion

Ions are: 

• atoms with a positive or negative charge
• atoms with no charge
• atoms with ONLY a positive charge
• atoms with ONLY a negative charge

A negative ion is a 

• cation
• anion

Valence electrons are: 

• Electrons farthest away from the nucleus
• Electrons closest to the nucleus
• Electrons that just come and go - they don't stay with the atom
