Name:___________________ Per:______ Ions WorksheetElement # Valence Electrons # Electrons to gain # Electrons to lose Ion Formed/ name Li 1 None 1 Li +1/ cation N 5 3 None N –3 / anion O Ca Br S Cl K Mg Be Questions: 1.If Li loses an electron to another atom, why is it written Li + 1 (with a +1)? 2.If N gains 3 electrons from other atoms, why is it written N-3(with a -3)? 3. a. What do you think happens to atomic radius size of a cation & why? b. an anion & why?

The anion will expand.Li now has more protons than electrons. Protons are positive.N now has more electrons than protons making it negative. Electrons are negative.8 2 None O-2 / anion20 None2 Ca+2/ cation35 1 None Br-1/ anion16 2 None S-2/ anion17 1 None Cl-1/anion19 None 1 K+1/ cation12 None 2 Mg+2/ cation4 None2 Be+2/ cationThe atomic radius of a cation atomic radius will get smaller.
