ioniosation means that a metalic or non-matallic element
becomes an ion instead of being an atom by gainig or losing electrons (in order to
complete its outer most energy level with 8 electrons and be in a stable state),,,,if
the element gains electron during ioniosation so it is non-metal since it has already
more than 4 electrons in its outer shell so gaining electrons is easier that losing for
it like the chlorine atom= (electronic configration 2,8,7) & it gains an
electron .
On the other hand ,the metallic elements lose
elecrtons since they already have less than 4 electrons inthe outer shell so losing is
easier to it than gaining like sodium atom =(electronic configration 2,8,1)& it
loses the an elecrton.
tip: the metallic element which
loses elecrton(s),loses its them from the outer energy level like Magnesium= (2,8,2) so
it loses the 2 outer electrons .Sodium= (2,8,1)so it loses its outer electron in L
level.
while the non meatllic elements which gains
electrons put them in the outer most energy level like florine= (2,7) so it puts its new
electron in the 2nd shell to be filled with 8 electrons. Chlorine =(2,8,7) also puts its
new electron gained during ioniosation or chemical reaction in its outer
level.
The inert gases they don't make ions or share in
chemical reactions (concerning this part which talks about ions) because each one has 8
already electrons in its outermost shell & it needn't gain or lose electrons
(except Hydrogen which has only one shell completely filled with 2 electrons &
it also doesn't need to be ion)
Metals which lose electrons
, give them to non-metals :like MgO=Magnesium Oxide where Mg loses 2 electrons to give
them to the Oxygen atom which needs them so they make an ionic bond (meatl +non metal =
ionic bond)
