So we all know about the carbon cycle, and the water cycle, and maybe even the nitrogen cycle. But new research has figured out there's a salt cycle, too. Problem is, that same research has found that we already broke it. Here's what...

Anions, formed by electron gain, contribute to ionic bond formation. Larger anions with higher charges enhance the bond's electrostatic attraction

An atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, and so has an electrical charge.

By the end of this learning object, the student will be able to: Explain the meaning of salts and their properties.14004

Electrons and Ions describes what occurs in an atom when electrons are added or removed from the outer shell using the terms ion, bonding, gain, lose, and charge.

Upon viewing the Forming Bonds video series, students will be able to do the following: Understand that matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms. Explain that atoms consist of many different types of subatomic particles including...

This video is an educational presentation on how to form compounds through understanding the charges on various ions. The viewer learns about the formation of positive and negative ions in metals and non-metals, how to predict the charge...

This program covers the very important topic of ions and ionic charge. We begin by discussing the concept of an ion and how it relates to a neutral atom. We then discuss how to calculate the ionic charge on an atom with practical...

This program covers the very important topic of ionic compounds. We discuss how ionic compounds form and how to predict ahead of time what the chemical formula will be when given the atoms that form the ionic compound. We spend a great...

This program covers the very important topic of ionic compounds with polyatomic ions. We discuss the concept of a polyatomic ion as simply the grouping of atoms that has a net charge associated with it. We then discuss how these...

The program offers a brief review of ions. Students will learn what determines the charge on an ion and how ionic bonds are formed. Viewers will come to understand that ionic bonds form due to electrostatic attraction between two ions...
