7
Term
diatomic elements are
Definition

Ionic compounds
Definition
are formed between a metal and nonmetal
Term
Ionic compounds are formed by

positive
Term
Nonmetals in ionic compounds form an

metals ionization energy
Definition
is low meaning it is easy to remove electrons
Term
Metals form positive ions or cations by
Definition
loosing all of their valence electrons

a negative ion is formed by
Definition
gaining electrons
