Question

Ions:

Ex: Aluminum has ___3___ valence electrons. It will ______lose 3__ electrons and become an ion with a _____3+_____ charge. (don’t just say + or -)
Chlorine (Cl) has 7 valence electrons. It will _____________ electron(s) and become an ion with a _____________ charge.
Iron (Fe) has 2 valence elecatrons. It will _____________ electron(s) and become an ion with a ______________ charge.
Sulfur (S) has _____________ valence electrons. It will ___________ electron(s) and become an ion with a ________________ charge.
Neon (Ne) has __________ valence electrons. Its valence shell is ___________ so it will neither __________ nor ___________ electrons. It will not become an ion and it will not bond with another atom. It is stable by itself.
Copper (Cu) has 1 valence electron. It will _____________electron(s) and become an ion with a __________ charge.

Answer 1

chlorine: gain, -1 charge.

iron: lose, +2 charge.

sulfur: 6, gain, -2 charge.

copper: lose, +1 charge.
