Today in Chemistry we learn and review
about ionic bonding. We review on how atoms consist of 3 types of subatomic
particles which are protons, electrons and neutrons. While proton is +, neutron
is neutral and electron is -. We learn that metal atoms are positive ions or
cations. Also, non-metals are negative ions or anions. We learn about charge so
an atom that has a nearly empty outer shell, it will take less energy to lose
electrons so it will be positive. While an atom that has a nearly full outer
shell will take less energy to gain electrons so it will be negative.
