Study Notes

Ions

Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom.
Losing or gaining electrons transforms atoms into ions.

Ionic Bonds

Ionic bonds form between oppositely charged ions.
Sodium (Na) atoms lose an electron, becoming positively charged sodium ions (Na⁺).
Chlorine (Cl) atoms gain an electron, becoming negatively charged chloride ions (Cl⁻).
The attraction between these oppositely charged ions forms an ionic bond.
The resulting compound is sodium chloride (NaCl), known as table salt.
