atoms attract electrons so much more strongly than the sodium
atoms that one electron is
transferred from each sodium atom to a chlorine atom.
When an electron is transferred completely from one uncharged atom to another, the atom
that loses the electron is left with one more proton than electron and acquires a +1 charge
overall. It therefore becomes a cation. In contrast, an uncharged atom that gains an electron
will have one more electron than proton, so it forms an anion with a -1 charge. Because
particles with opposite charges attract each other, there is an attraction between cations and
anions. This
attraction is called an ionic bond.
Q1. Complete the following statements by writing one of these words or phrases in each
blank
negligible (or zero)
gains
single atom
ionic
loses
covalent bond
eight
noble gas
covalent
ion
1. Each noble gas particle consists of a(n)
__________.
2. When an atom _______ one or more electrons, it will have more protons than electrons
and more plus charge than minus charge. Thus it becomes a cation, which is an ion with a
positive charge.
3. When an atom _______ one or more electrons, it then has more electrons than protons
and more minus charge than plus charge. Thus it becomes an anion, which is an ion with a
negative charge.
4. An atom or group of atoms that has lost or gained one or more electrons to create a
charged particle is called a(n) __________.
5. A(n) __________ bond is a link between atoms that results
from the sharing of two
electrons.
6. When the difference in electron‑attracting ability between atoms in a chemical bond is
__________, the atoms in the bond will have no significant partial charges. We call this
type of bond a nonpolar covalent bond.
7. When a nonmetallic atom bonds
to another nonmetallic atom, the bond is __________.
8. When a metallic atom bonds to another nonmetallic atom, the bond is _______.
9. Nonmetallic atoms form anions to get the same number of electrons as the nearest
__________.

electrons around them in total.
