Document Summary

Cations: positively charged ions: na+ k+ h+ : 1 positive charge due to losing 1 electron, ca + mg + : 2 positive charge due to losing 2 electrons. Anions: cl hco : 1 negative charge due to gaining 1 electron, hpo 2 so 2 : 2 negative charges due to gaining 2 electrons. An atom that gains or losses neutrons becomes an isotope of the same element. Ex: hydrogen gains a neutron it becomes a hydrogen isotope. Two strong bonds: covalent and ionic requires energy to make or break. Two weak weaker bonds, hydrogen and van der waals forces require less energy to make or break. Covalent bonds: result when atoms share electrons, require the most energy to break. Ionic bonds: electrostatic attractions between ions, generates two oppositely charged ions, they are attracted to each other and stick together; atoms gain or lose electrons.
