?
Why does an atom want to have a full outer shell?
so it can be stable just like noble gases
1 of 8
What does the group number tell you?
how many electrons are on its outer shell.

What happens when metals and non-metals react?
forms an ionic bond
3 of 8
Ion
when an atom becomes charged because it has either lost or gained electrons.
4 of 8
Valency
the number of electrons an atom must gain or lose to get a full outer shell.
