Ion Practice Set

1. This document provides instructions and a practice set for identifying ions. It defines an ion as an atom that has gained or lost electrons, changing its electric charge. 2. The number next to an ion indicates how many electrons were lost or gained. Students are asked to complete a table identifying ions, their element symbols, number of protons, number of electrons, and whether electrons were lost or gained. 3. Examples are provided for common monatomic cations like calcium (Ca2+) and anions like fluoride (F-). The periodic table is referenced for finding proton and electron counts.
