Guide Questions:
1. Which type of elements will likely to form a cation? Anion?
- It is a type of element which most likely to form into a cation that is metal and the element that will
most likely to form into an anion is nonmetals.
2. How are cations and anions formed?
- Cations (positively-charged ions) and anions (negatively-charged ions) are formed when a metal
loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. The electrostatic attraction between the positives
and negatives brings the particles together and creates an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride.
3. What did you notice about the charge of the ion?
- The ions charge resembles to the number of electrons that are lost or gained.
