Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The monatomic ion formed by the element
Concept introduction:
Atoms are neutral species with the exact same number of protons and electrons. In a periodic table, the elements along the left of the staircase are metals. Metals have the tendency to lose electrons to form positively charged cations. Non-metals are present at the right of the staircase. Non-metals, on the other hand, have the tendency to gain electrons to form negatively charged anions.
