Here comes my friend, Sophie Sodium
Hey Johnny. Im in Group 1 so I have one
electron in my outer shell. This electron
is far away from the nucleus so Im quite
happy to get rid of it. Do you want it?
Cl
Now weve both got full outer shells
and weve both gained a charge.
Weve formed an IONIC bond.

The force of attraction between the
positively charge ion and negatively charged
ion.






One element is a metal, the other is a
non-metal.
Apply what you have just learnt about
sodium chloride to other ionic compounds.

Group 1 elements lose 1 electron
Group 2 elements lose 2 electrons
Group 6 elements gain 2 electrons
Group 7 elements gain 1 electron
