Document Summary

Ion is a charged chemical species (we focus on monatomic ions) The number of electrons do not equal the number of protons. When the #e > #protons then we call this an anion (cl , o2 , h , s2 , n3 ) When the #e < #protons then we call this a cation (h+, na+, fe2+, he+, h3o+) Cation(s) and anion(s) come together to form a neutral compound. The net charge of the combination must equal zero. If ions form from neutral atoms there is a transfer of electrons. Na+ + cl- nacl sodium chloride, table salt. Cations and anions are bound my electrical forces in ionic compounds. = electrical charges (e. g. +1, 1) r = distance between charged particles. Each h2o is a separate unit (entity) Any one oxygen atom belongs to two hydrogen atoms (vice versa) Each na+ is surrounded by six cl and vice versa. Any one na+ does not belong to any one cl .
