The number of electrons gained or lost by an atom is related to the group in which the element is found.
The elements in groups 4 and 8

What are bonds?
Each element is made up of just one type of atom, usually joined to other atoms of the same element by

or gain to have a filled outer shell.
How do atoms form positive ions?
An atom that
one or more electrons forms a positive ion.
, such as sodium, magnesium and iron, form positive ions.
How is a sodium ion formed?
(draw the diagram below)
How do atoms form negative ions?
An atom that
one or more electrons forms a negative ion.
Non-metal atoms, such as chlorine, oxygen and nitrogen, form negative ions.

How are ionic bonds formed?
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound formed by the reaction between the metal sodium and the nonmetal chlorine.
The
sodium ions and the
chloride ions are strongly
attracted to each other.
It is this
attraction that forms ionic bonds in sodium chloride and other ionic
compounds.

In an

atoms will transfer electrons to form countless
ions.
