Question
Answer
When an atom loses an electron, the atom has a [...] charge and is called a cation.   When an atom loses an electron, the atom has a positive charge and is called a cation.  
🗑
A positively charged ion is called a [...].   A positively charged ion is called a cation.  
🗑
You can remember that a cation is positive because the [...].   You can remember that a cation is positive because the 't' in 'cation' looks like the + sign.  
🗑
In an atom, the valence electrons are those in the [...-most] orbitals.   In an atom, the valence electrons are those in the outermost orbitals.  
🗑
[...] electrons are the ones that participate in forming ions.   Valence electrons are the ones that participate in forming ions.  
🗑
When an atom gains an electron, the atom has a [...] charge and is called an anion.   When an atom gains an electron, the atom has a negative charge and is called an anion.  
🗑
A negatively charged ion is called an [...].   A negatively charged ion is called an anion.  
🗑
An ion formed from a single atom is called a [...-atomic] ion.   An ion formed from a single atom is called a monoatomic ion.  
🗑
For most metals, the charge of an ion will be the same as the [...] number in a periodic table labeled 1A, 2A, etc.   For most metals, the charge of an ion will be the same as the group (column) number in a periodic table labeled 1A, 2A, etc.  
🗑
Charges on [...] metal ions are harder to predict.   Charges on transition metal ions are harder to predict.  
🗑
Most non metals will gain enough electrons to give them a full [...] of valence electrons.   Most non metals will gain enough electrons to give them a full octet of valence electrons.  
🗑
Hydrogen ions can have a charge of either [...] or [...].   Hydrogen ions can have a charge of either +1 or -1.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
