Chapter 5, Problem 19KT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The key term that corresponds to the definition “an atom that bears a charge as a result of gaining or losing valence electrons” is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Metals have the tendency to lose electrons and non-metals have the tendency to gain electrons. This tendency of elements to lose or gain electrons depends upon the electronegativity and electronic configuration of the element. The species that is formed after gain or loss of electrons by the elements is known as an ion.
