Some Atoms Form Ions. ionization = the process of adding or removing electrons from an atom or group of atoms Atoms that do not have filled valence shells may undergo ionization ion – a charged atom (a neutral atom has lost or gained one or more e-).

Some Atoms Form Ions • ionization = the process of adding or removing electrons from an atom or group of atoms • Atoms that do not have filled valence shells may undergo ionization • ion – a charged atom (a neutral atom has lost or gained one or more e-)
If the atom gains or loses electrons, it no longer is neutral (ie, the # p+ and # e- are not the same) Cation - positively charged ion (less electrons than protons) Ex: Lithium has 3 e- and is very reactive Removing the e- makes lithium less reactive It now has a full valence shell Lithium ion written as Li+ It is not helium because we determine element by amount of protons (Helium has 2 e- like the Li + ion) It is not lithium…..it is a lithium ion!
Naming a Cation: uses the name of the parent atom Ex: Na+ is called Sodium ion Mg2+ is called a magnesium ion (charge of +2) Al 3+ is called an aluminum ion (charge of +3)
Anion – negatively charged ion (more electrons than protons) Ex: Fluorine has 9 e- and is reactive (7 e- in valence shell) Adding the e- makes fluorine less reactive because it now has a full valence shell fluorine ion written as F- It is not neon (Ne has 8 e- like the F-ion) It is not fluorine ….it is a fluorine ion!
Naming a Anion: use the root name of the atom and change the ending to have the suffix “ -ide” Ex: F - is called Fluoride ion I - is called an Iodide ion O 2- is called an oxide ion (charge of -2)
