that has a that has a positive or negative chargepositive or negative charge AtomsAtoms are neutral because the number are neutral because the number
of protons equals electronsof protons equals electrons• Positive and negative ions are formed Positive and negative ions are formed

Metals tend to Metals tend to LOSE electronsLOSE electrons, from , from their outer energy leveltheir outer energy level• Sodium loses one: there are now Sodium loses one: there are now
more protons (11) than electrons (10), more protons (11) than electrons (10), and thus a charge of +1and thus a charge of +1
• The charge is written as a number The charge is written as a number followed by a plus sign: Nafollowed by a plus sign: Na1+1+
• Now named a “Now named a “sodium ionsodium ion””• positively ions are called “positively ions are called “cationcation””
Nonmetals tend to GAINNonmetals tend to GAIN one or one or more electronsmore electrons• Chlorine will gain one electronChlorine will gain one electron• Protons (17) no longer equals the Protons (17) no longer equals the
electrons (18), so a charge of -1electrons (18), so a charge of -1• ClCl-1-1 is re-named a “chloride ion” is re-named a “chloride ion”• Negative ions are called “Negative ions are called “anionsanions””

for an atom to for an atom to attract attract electrons electrons to itself when it is to itself when it is chemically chemically combinedcombined with another element. with another element.
An element with a big An element with a big electronegativity means it pulls electronegativity means it pulls the electron towards itself the electron towards itself strongly!strongly!
