    Study Notes

    Ions and Electron Configuration

    • Atoms gain or lose electrons to complete their outer electron shell, forming ions with the same electron configuration.
    • Example: oxygen and fluorine gain electrons to become negative ions with the same electron configuration.

    Compound Ions

    • A compound ion is made up of a group of atoms.
    • Examples of compound ions: hydroxide (OH-), sulfate (SO42-), nitrate (NO3-), carbonate (CO32-), ammonium (NH4+).

    Positive and Negative Ions

    • Atoms with a nearly empty outer shell lose electrons to obtain a full outer shell, forming positive ions.
    • Atoms with a nearly full outer shell gain electrons to obtain a full outer shell, forming negative ions.

    Formation of Positive Ions

    • Atoms that lose one or more electrons form positive ions.
    • Examples: lithium (2.1 → Li+), magnesium (2.8.2 → Mg2+), aluminium (2.8.3 → Al3+).

    Formation of Negative Ions

    • Atoms that gain one or more electrons form negative ions.
    • Examples: chlorine (2.8.7 → Cl-), oxygen (2.6 → O2-), nitrogen (2.5 → N3-).

    Ion Charges

    • The charge on an ion is indicated by a small '+' or '-' symbol and a number.
    • The number is usually the same as the number of electrons lost or gained.

    Ion Attraction and Conductivity

    • Ions attract or repel each other due to their charges.
    • Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity.
