Term
What is an ion?
Definition
charged particles that form during chemical changes when oone or more valence electrons transfer from one atom to another.
Term
How does an atom become a negative ion?
Definition
Atoms that gain electrons from other atoms during chemical changes form a negative ion.
Term
How does an atom become a negative ion?
Definition
By losing or sharing electrons.
Term
What is crystal lattice?
Definition
ions that make up an ionic compound are bonded in a repeating 3 dimension pattern called a crystal lattice.
Term
